  2. Lobules of liver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobules_of_liver

    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 a portal triad, hepatocytes arranged in linear cords between a capillary network, and a central vein.

  3. Hepatocyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hepatocyte

    The hepatocyte is a cell in the body that manufactures serum albumin, fibrinogen, and the prothrombin group of clotting factors (except for Factors 3 and 4). It is the main site for the synthesis of lipoproteins, ceruloplasmin, transferrin, complement, and glycoproteins. Hepatocytes manufacture their own structural proteins and intracellular ...

  4. Liver cytology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liver_cytology

    Hepatocytes constitute about 80% of the cell population of the liver, with the other 20% being occupied by Kupffer cells, hepatic stellate cells, endothelial cells and mesothelial cells, which are not exactly characteristic of the liver, but are present in the liver samples. [2] Histologically speaking, hepatocytes have specific characteristics.

  5. Liver sinusoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liver_sinusoid

    A liver sinusoid is a type of capillary known as a sinusoidal capillary, discontinuous capillary or sinusoid, that is similar to a fenestrated capillary, having discontinuous endothelium that serves as a location for mixing of the oxygen-rich blood from the hepatic artery and the nutrient-rich blood from the portal vein.

  6. Hepatic stellate cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hepatic_stellate_cell

    Hepatic stellate cells (HSC), also known as perisinusoidal cells or Ito cells (earlier lipocytes or fat-storing cells), are pericytes found in the perisinusoidal space of the liver, also known as the space of Disse (a small area between the sinusoids and hepatocytes).

    Furthermore, decreased levels of IL-13, an antagonistic cytokine of IL-6 was found to be closely associated with short-term (90-day) mortality in severe alcoholic hepatitis patients. [8] Some signs and pathological changes in liver histology include: Mallory's hyaline body – a condition where pre-keratin filaments accumulate in hepatocytes ...
