In the primate or human liver, the connective tissue septa between individual hepatic lobules (8)
are not as conspicuous as in the pig, and the liver sinusoids are continuous between lobules.
Despite these differences, portal areas containing interlobular branches of the portal veins (2, 11),
hepatic arteries (3, 13), and bile ducts (1, 12) are visible around the lobule (8) peripheries in the
interlobular septa (4, 10).
This figure illustrates numerous hepatic lobules (8). In the center of each hepatic lobule (8)
is the central vein (6, 9). The hepatic sinusoids (5) appear between the plates of hepatic cells (7)
that radiate from the central veins (6, 9) toward the periphery of the hepatic lobule (8). As illus-
trated in Figure 14.1, branches of the interlobular vessels and bile ducts are seen within the por-
tal areas of a hepatic lobule (8)
