FIGURE 16.10 | Liver Sinusoids, Space of Disse,

Hepatocytes, and Endothelial Cells in Liver

Lobule

This high-magnification micrograph shows details of the cells and structures in a
liver lobule. The sinusoids (1, 7) are lined with discontinuous endothelial cells
(6, 8). The narrow separations between the endothelial cells (6, 8) and
hepatocytes (9) show the space of Disse (3, 5). Also visible in the sinusoids (1,
7) are the larger phagocytic Kupffer cells (4, 10) that can span the sinusoid (1,

7). Located between the hepatocytes (9) are tiny channels that in the cross
section appear as dots; these are the bile canaliculi (2).
