In histology (microscopic anatomy), the lobules of liver, or hepatic lobules, are small divisions of the liver defined at the microscopic scale. The hepatic lobule is a building block of the liver tissue , consisting of portal triads, hepatocytes arranged in linear cords between a capillary network, and a central vein .

A liver segment is one of eight segments of the liver as described in the widely used Couinaud classification (named after Claude Couinaud) in the anatomy of the liver.This system divides the lobes of the liver into eight segments based on a transverse plane through the bifurcation of the main portal vein, [1] arranged in a clockwise manner starting from the caudate lobe.
The canals of Hering are destroyed early in primary biliary cholangitis and may be primary sites of scarring in methotrexate toxicity.Research has indicated the presence of intraorgan stem cells of the liver that can proliferate in disease states, so-called oval cells. [5]
The falciform ligament, visible on the front of the liver, makes a superficial division of the right and left lobes of the liver. From the underside, the two additional lobes are located on the right lobe. [2] A line can be imagined running from the left of the vena cava and all the way forward to divide the liver and gallbladder into two ...
The perisinusoidal space (or space of Disse) is a space between a hepatocyte, and a sinusoid in the liver.It contains the blood plasma. Microvilli of hepatocytes extend into this space, allowing proteins and other plasma components from the sinusoids to be absorbed by the hepatocytes.

In the hepatic lobule of the human digestive system, the space of Möll lies between the limiting plate and the connective tissue of the portal triad. [ 1 ] It receives lymph from the space of Disse , "originates" more lymph, and drains it into the surrounding lymphatic vessels . [ 2 ]
