HISTOLOGY OF LIVER
INTRODUCTION

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Liver is the largest internal organ.
? In adults weight-- 1.5 kg (2% of the body weight).
? Location--Right upper quadrant of the abdomen.
? Dual blood supply--Portal vein and hepatic artery.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Liver is surrounded by thin connective tissue

capsule called Glisson's capsule.

? Glisson's capsule thickened at the porta hepatis and

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

sends trabeculae into the interior dividing

parenchyma into lobules.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? These trabeculae carry branches of hepatic artery,

portal vein, and bile duct.
? Liver lobules:
? Hexagonal areas that form the structural &

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

functional unit of liver.

? Scanty connective tissue between lobules.
? Each lobule is made up of cords of liver cells

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

(hepatocytes) separated by sinusoids.

? At the periphery of each lobule there are several

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

portal triad.

? Central vein in the centre of each lobule and drain

blood from lobules into hepatic vein.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Bile canaliculi: spaces present between plasma

membrane of adjacent liver cells.

Different types of liver lobules

A.Classical liver

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

lobule

B. Portal liver

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

lobule

C. Liver acinus
? Hepatocytes (liver cells)
? Shape--polygonal

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Nucleus--Large, round &central (may binucleated).
? Consitute about 80% of liver volume.
? Life span about 5 months.
? Capable of regeneration.
? Forms hepatic cords (may branch & anastomose).

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Liver cells has 5-12 sides, some sides exposed to

sinusoids and other sides shows infolding between

adjacent cells to form bile canaliculi.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Hepatic sinusoid--
? Vascular channels between the plates of

hepatocytes.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Lined by endothelial and phagocytic (kupffer) cells.
? The venous and arterial blood mixes in hepatic

sinusoids

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Space of Disse (perisinusoidal space)--
Between sinusoidal endotheilum and hepatocytes.
? Ito cells (hepatic stellate cells)--
Found in perisinusoidal spaces.

Involeved in storage of vitamin A and lipid


? Bile canaliculi
? Smallest branches of the biliary tree.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? They empty into bile canals of Hering composed of

cuboidal epithelium (cholangiocytes).

? Bile canal merge to form bile ductules

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Bile ductules merge, enlarge, and form right and

left hepatic ducts leaving the liver.

? Into the canaliculi hepatocytes continuously secrete

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

bile.

GALL BLADDER

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Gall bladder is temporary storehouse of bile

and concentrate it by water re-absorption.

? Layers of gall bladder--

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

a) Mucosa
b) Fibromuscular layer
c) Serosa/adventitia
? Mucosa--
? Lining epithelium simple columnar epithelium.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? These cells have many small microvilli on their

apical surface.

? These cells involved in absorption of water from

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

stored bile.

? Lamina propria is present.
? Mucosal gland, muscularis mucosae and

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

submucosa are absent.

? Fibromuscular layer--
? Composed of randomly arranged smooth

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

muscles.

? In between muscles fibre is dense connective

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

tissue that is rich in elastic fibres.

? Serosa--
? Inferior surface is covered by serosa and rest is

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

by adventitia.


PANCREAS

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Mixed gland i.e.

consists of an

exocrine &

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

endocrine portion.

? Exocrine part:

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

secretes pancreatic

juice.

? Endocrine part:

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

secretes hormones.
Histology of Exocrine Pancreas

? Covered with a capsule.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Septas arise from capsule which divide the

gland into many small lobules.

? Interlobular connective tissue contains large

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

ducts, blood vessels & nerve fibres.

? Interlobular connective tissue surrounds the

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

acini, small ducts & islets of Langerhans.

? Pancreatic Acini--
? Serous in nature.
? Lined by pyramidal cells and have small lumen.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Acinar cells--
supranuclear region is filled with zymogen granules.
Infranuclear region is intensely basophilic.
? Extensive duct system--
intralobular (intercalated), interlobular & main duct.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Acinar lumen may show pale staining cells of

intercalated duct (centroacinar cells).

Histology of Endocrine Pancreas

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? In the form of "islands": Islets of Langerhans
? Scattered among the acini of exocrine part.
? Cells of islets are arranged as anastomosing

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

plates.

? Islets contain 4 types of cells:
? A(alpha) cells--20% , secrete glucagon
? B (beta) cells--70% , secrete insulin

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? D (delta) cells--5% , secrete somatostatin
? F or PP cells-- secrete pancreatic polpetides
