SECTION OF HUMAN LIVER, CUT AT A RIGHT ANGLE TO THE SUR- 

 FACE, AND STAINED WITH H^MATOXYLIN AND EOSIN 



(Fig. 110) 



OBSERVE : 

 (L.) 



1. The imperfectly outlined lobules (in consequence of the 

 absence of interlobular connective tissue.) 



2. The fusing of the lobules. (At points like B, B, it is 

 impossible to say just where one lobule ceases and the contiguous 

 one begins.) 



FIG. 110. SECTION OP HUMAN LIVER. STAINED WITH H^EMATOXYLIN AND 



EOSIN (X60). 



A. A, A. Central veins sectioned generally at a right angle to the lobule. 



B. B. Points where adjoining lobules coalesce. Illustrating the difficulty of outlining the 

 lobules in normal human liver. 



C. Connective tissue of a portal canal. 



D. Large interlobular vein. 



E. Hepatic duct belonging to C. 



F. Hepatic artery of C. 



<J, <i. Smaller portal canals. 



H. Small hepatic ducts always recognizable by the deeply hseuiatoxyHu-stained nuclei of 

 thoir lining cells. 



I, I. Hepatic sublobular veins.
