HISTOLOGY
This is the classic shape of the hepatic lobule.
Hexagonal
The liver develops from this part of the primitive gut tube.
Ventral foregut endoderm
This quadrant of the abdomen contains the liver.
Right upper quadrant
This vessel supplies the majority of blood to the liver from the gastrointestinal tract.
Portal vein
These structures make up the portal triad.
Hepatic ductule/ bile duct
Hepartic arteriole
Branch of portal vein
The first morphological sign of liver development.
Hepatic diverticulum
This area of the liver is not covered by visceral peritoneum and lies directly against the diaphragm.
Bare/ nude area
After the hepatic nodes, lymph from the liver drains to these nodes.
Coeliac nodes
This is the shape of the portal lobule.
Triangular
Hepatoblasts located in the parenchyma differentiate into these cells.
Hepatocytes
This structure is the central intraperitoneal fissure on the visceral surface of the liver.
Porta Hepatis
Superficial hepatic lymphatics are located in this capsule surrounding the liver.
Glisson's capsule
The typical appearance of hepatocytes (name 2 features)
Large polygonal cells with eosinophilic cytoplasm, round nuclei, and prominent nucleoli
Hepatoblast differentiation begins around this embryonic day.
e13 (approximately)
Name two organs that contact the visceral surface of the liver.
Right kidney, stomach, duodenum, transverse colon, gallbladder, oesophagus, right adrenal gland (any two)
Parasympathetic innervation of the liver is provided by these nerves.
Anterior and posterior vagal trunks
Sinusoids are lined by...
Fenestrated endothelial cells
The germ layer that forms Kupffer cells, stellate cells, and hepatic blood vessels.
Mesoderm
This ligament is formed by peritoneal reflections from the diaphragm and has anterior and posterior layers.
Coronary ligament
This artery arises from the celiac trunk and supplies oxygenated blood to the liver.
Common hepatic artery
