Tell me about the liver. The liver is the second largest organ (second to skin). Weight is 1500 g, which accounts for 2.5% of body weight. • Hepatocytes are polyhedral epithelial cells arranged in sheets separated
from each other by spaces filled with hepatic sinusoids • Hepatic sinusoids are vessels that arise at the portal triad and run
between sheets of hepatocytes receiving blood from the portal triad to deliver to central vein
What is the significance of various types of divisions of the liver?
