Hepatocytes have microvilli that extend into space.

Microscopic anatomy of liver. Parenchymal cells and non parenchymal cells. Make up 15 of liver population perisinusoidal space site of exchange of material between blood and liver cells. Histologically speaking it has a complex microscopic structure that can be viewed from several different angles.

Part of wall of sinusoids. Anatomically the liver consists of four lobes. Non parenchymal cells constitute 40 of the total number of liver cells but only 65 of its volume.

The liver is a complex threedimensional structure that consists of epithelial and mesenchymal elements arranged in repetitive microscopic units. Such structural and functional organization allows assessment of diffuse disease processes in small representative biopsy specimens. 7085 of the liver volume is occupied by parenchymal hepatocytes.

The macroscopic and microscopic anatomy of the liver is difficult to understand partly because of its inherently complicated three dimensional structure and partly because of the recent trend to replace simple but misleading morphological descriptions with more accurate but less obvious functional descriptions. Microscopic anatomy the surface of the liver is covered by visceral peritoneum serosa with a glisson capsule underneath. Histology the study of microscopic anatomy shows two major types of liver cell.

About 7085 of the liver volume is occupied by parenchymal hepatocytes. Anatomy of the liver. It functions as a phagocyte a cell that engulfs and destroys foreign material or other cells.

The liver is a complex three dimensional structure that consists of epithelial and mesenchymal elements arranged in repetitive microscopic units. Two larger ones right and left and two smaller ones quadrate and caudate. Parenchymal cells and nonparenchymal cells.

Microscopic anatomy the study of microscopic anatomy shows two major types of liver cell. Mononuclear phagocytic system destroy erythrocytes digest hemoglobin and destroy bacteria. At the porta hepatis the glisson capsule travels along the portal tracts.

Small spaces disse spaces are present in places between the hepatocyte and the sinusoidal endothelium. Such structural and functional organization allows assessment of diffuse disease processes in small representative biopsy specimens. The other major cell of the liver the kupffer cell adheres to the wall of the sinusoid and projects into its lumen.
