ACCESSORY GLANDULAR DIGESTIVE ORGANS Anatomy of the Liver Falciform ligament Marks the boundary between the left and right lobes The inferior portion of the falciform ligament becomes thick and round and is called the round ligament The falciform ligament spreads on the surface of the liver attaching to the inferior side of the diaphragm This spreading ligament is called the coronary ligament
HISTOLOGICAL ORGANIZATION OF THE LIVER The liver is divided into approximately 100,000 liver lobules Each lobule is separated by the interlobular septum The center of each lobule consists of a vein from the hepatic portal system The hepatocytes are arranged in such a manner forming cellular lines extending from the central vein outward Spaces created between lines of hepatocytes are called sinusoids Sinusoids consists of capillaries leading to central vein and Kupffer cells
