1 the Liver the Liver Is Composed of a Single Type of Parenchymal Cell, The Dr. Maryam Mohammed 2nd stage College of Medicine /Dep. of anatomy & histology The liver The liver is composed of a single type of parenchymal cell, the hepatocyte, it is surrounded by a dense, irregular collagenous connective tissue known as Glisson capsule, which gives rise to septa that subdivide the liver into lobes and lobules. Function. The liver produces bile and plasma proteins and has a myriad of other functions. Liver lobules 1. The classic liver lobule is a hexagonal mass of tissue primarily composed of plates of hepatocytes, which radiate from the region of the central vein toward the periphery. a. Portal areas (portal canals or portal triads) (1) The portal areas are regions of the connective tissue between lobules that contain branches of the portal vein, hepatic artery, lymph vessel, and bile duct. (2) They are present at alternate corners of a classic liver lobule. b. Liver sinusoids (1) Liver sinusoids are sinusoidal capillaries that arise at the periphery of a lobule and run between adjacent plates of hepatocytes. (2) They receive blood from the vessels in the portal areas and deliver it to the central vein. (3) They are lined by sinusoidal lining cells (endothelial cells) that have large discontinuities between them, display fenestrations, and lack basal laminae. (4) They also contain phagocytic cells (Kupffer cells) derived from monocytes; these cells remove debris, old erythrocytes, and cellular fragments from the bloodstream. c. Space of Disse 1 Dr. Maryam Mohammed 2nd stage College of Medicine /Dep. of anatomy & histology (1) The space of Disse is the subendothelial space between hepatocytes and sinusoidal lining cells. (2) It contains the short microvilli of hepatocytes, reticular fibers (which maintain the architecture of the sinusoids). (3) It also contains stellate fat-storing cells (Ito cells, perisinusoidal stellate cells), which preferentially store vitamin A. However, when the liver is compromised, hepatocytes release tumor growth factor _ and, in response, these fat-storing cells can divide, change their phenotype, and begin to synthesize collagen, leading to fibrosis and, if necessary, differentiate into myofibroblasts to control blood flow into the sinusoids. (4) Function. The space of Disse functions in the exchange of material between the bloodstream and hepatocytes. Hepatocytes do not directly contact the bloodstream. Blood and bile flow 1. Blood flow into the liver is derived from two sources and is directed from the portal triads at the periphery of each classic liver lobule toward the central vein. a. The hepatic artery brings oxygen-rich blood from the abdominal aorta and supplies 20% to 30% of the liver’s blood. b. The portal vein brings nutrient-rich blood from the alimentary canal and spleen; it supplies 70% to 80% of the liver’s blood. 2. Blood flow out of the liver occurs via the hepatic vein, formed by the union of numerous sublobular veins, which collect blood from the central veins. 3. Bile flow is directed toward the periphery of the classic liver lobule (in the opposite direction of blood flow). Bile is carried in a system of ducts that culminate in the left and right hepatic ducts, which leave the liver and carry bile to the gallbladder. a. Bile canaliculi 2 Dr. Maryam Mohammed 2nd stage College of Medicine /Dep. of anatomy & histology (1) The bile canaliculi are expanded intercellular spaces between adjacent hepatocytes that form tiny canals for the initial flow of bile. (2) They receive the liver’s exocrine secretion (bile) and carry it to the canals of Hering (bile ductules) at the very periphery of classic liver lobules. b. Bile ducts (1) Bile ducts are located in the portal areas. (2) They receive bile from the canals of Hering. (3) They enlarge and fuse to form the hepatic ducts, which leave the liver at the porta hepatis. Hepatocytes 1. Hepatocytes are large polyhedral cells (20–30 _m in diameter) that possess abundant RER and smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER); numerous mitochondria, lysosomes, and peroxisomes; several Golgi complexes; and many lipid droplets and glycogen deposits. 2. They usually contain one round central nucleus; about 25% of the cells are binucleated. Occasionally, nuclei are polyploid. 3. Hepatocyte surfaces a. Hepatocyte surfaces facing the space of Disse possess microvilli, which by increasing the surface area facilitate the transfer of materials (e.g., endocrine secretions) between the hepatocytes and the blood. b. Abutting surfaces of adjacent hepatocytes (1) frequently delineate bile canaliculi, small, tunnel-like expansions of the intercellular space. The bile canaliculi are sealed off from the remaining intercellular space by occluding junctions located on each side of each canaliculus. (2) possess microvilli that extend into the bile canaliculus (3) also have gap junctions 3 Dr. Maryam Mohammed 2nd stage College of Medicine /Dep. of anatomy & histology The gallbladder The gallbladder communicates with the common hepatic duct via the cystic duct, which originates at the neck of the gallbladder, it has a muscular wall whose contraction, stimulated by cholecystokinin (possibly in conjunction with acetylcholine), forces bile from its lumen into the duodenum, the wall has four layers: 4 Dr. Maryam Mohammed 2nd stage College of Medicine /Dep. of anatomy & histology 1. The mucosa is composed of a simple columnar epithelium and a richly vascularized lamina propria. When the gallbladder is empty, the mucosa displays highly convoluted folds. 2. The muscle layer is composed of a thin, oblique layer of smooth muscle cells. 3. The connective tissue layer consists of dense irregular collagenous connective tissue and houses nerves and blood vessels. 4. The serosa covers most of the gallbladder, but adventitia is present where the organ is attached to the liver. 5 .

  • Bile Canaliculi Can Be Seen Between the Hepatocytes
    DIGESTIVE GLANDS II Mr. Babatunde D.E Liver ❖ Is the second largest organ in the body. ❖ Is composed of a single type of parenchymal cell, the hepatocyte. Hepatocyte ❖ Possess a myriad of both endocrine and exocrine functions. Figure 16—18. Ultrastructure of a hepatocyte. RER, rough endoplasmic reticulum; SER, smooth endoplasmic reticulum. x10,000. Glisson’s Capsule ❖ Is composed of thin connective tissue that subdivides the liver into lobes and lobules. Blood Supply ❖ Of the liver is derived from two sources: abdominal aorta, via the hepatic artery; portal vein, which brings nutrient-laden blood from the alimentary tract and the spleen. Porta Hepatis ❖ Is the region where the hepatic artery and the portal vein enter and the hepatic ducts leave the liver. Drainage ❖ Of blood is via the hepatic vein. ❖ Hepatic vein is formed by the union of numerous sublobular veins. ❖ Sublobular veins collect blood from the central vein of each classical liver lobule. Bile ❖ Leaves the liver via the hepatic ducts. ❖ Is delivered to the gallbladder. Liver Lobules ❖ There are three types of liver lobules: classical (hexagonal in histologic section); portal lobule (triangular in histological section); liver acinus of Rappaport (liver acinus; diamond shaped in histologic section). CENTRAL VEIN PORTAL CANAL Classical Lobule ❖ Is based on the pig’s liver, where connective tissue elements clearly delineate it. ❖ Portal area (portal canal; triad) is present at each corner of the lobule. ❖ Portal area contains branches of the portal vein, hepatic artery, bile duct, and lymph vessel. Figure 16—12. Three- dimensional aspect of the normal liver. In the upper center is the central vein; in the lower center, the portal vein.
