Question

You have just worked out at the gym and accumulated lots of metabolic wastes in your blood. Physiologically, these wastes first need to be processed by your liver to detoxify them before they can be excreted into your urine via the kidney. What is the shortest route through the blood circulation the wastes can take from the time they are picked up in your muscles (for example, a leg muscle), allowing them to be processed by the liver, and finally excreted through the kidney? Choose the shortest route that includes all necessary organs.
