3 concepts of a liver lobule
Portal lobule
Hepatic acinus
Classic lobule
The hepatic acinus is defined by the concept of ____ ____. It is centered by the ____ ____. It is outlined by 2 ____ areas and 2 ____ ____.
Blood Flow
Terminal vessels
Portal
Central veins
This concept of a liver lobule is a histological structure. Blood flows to the center, and bile flows to the periphery.
Classical Liver Lobule
This concept of a liver lobule is defined by exocrine function. Here, bile flows to the center.
Portal Liver Lobule
This concept of a liver lobule is defined by blood flow. Blood flows from the center to the periphery. This is an important concept for hypoxic or toxic insults.
