Digestive System

Slide 111. Human liver.

Staining: hematoxylin and eosin.

Magnification: x80.

In the human Liver, lobules (1) are difficult to distinguish, as the Connective Tissue septa (2) are thin. They are wider only where the portal triads are located: interlobular artery (3), interlobular vein (4), and interlobular Bile duct (5). In the center of the lobule lies the central vein (6), from which sinusoids (7) radiate outward. The wall of the latter consists of a single layer of endothelial Cells with elongated nuclei. The arrangement of hepatic cords, or plates (8), containing hepatocytes is also radial. Hepatocytes are polygonal in shape and frequently contain two or more nuclei.
