Liver Structure
This cartoon shows the portal venue to central vein flow within the liver subunit structure.
- Dual blood supply of the liver merges upon entry into the liver lobule at the portal field.
- branches of the portal vein
- branches of the hepatic artery
- Blood flows along the sinusoid and exits at the central vein.
- Bile flows in the opposite direction.
Kupffer cells - stellate macrophage cells named after Karl Wilhelm von Kupffer (1829 - 1902) a German anatomist who originally identified these cells.
