D.3.A2: Dual blood supply to the liver and differences between sinusoids and capillaries.
Objective:
- Draw and label a diagram of the liver, including the left and right lobes, hepatic portal vein, hepatic artery and the hepatic vein.
- Compare liver blood supplies in terms of blood source (arrives from…), blood destination (flows towards…), and relative oxygen concentration.
- Draw a labeled diagram of a sinusoid, inclusive of: bile canal cells, bile duct, hepatocytes, Kupffer cells, arterioles and venules.
- Compare sinusoids to capillaries.
- Outline the relationship between liver lobes, lobules and sinusoids.
