Liver anatomy, artwork
Liver anatomy. Computer artwork of the structure of part of a liver lobule. Oxygenated blood is supplied to the hepatocytes (liver cells) by the hepatic artery (blue). The hepatic vein (red) carries blood that contains substances absorbed from the digestive system for processing by the hepatocytes. The hepatic artery and vein drain into the central vein (bottom right), which in turn drains into the hepatic vein (not seen) and back into the general circulation. Bile is produced by hepatocytes and collected by bile canaliculi (dark red) for transport to the gall bladder via the bile duct (yellow)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and complex anatomy of the liver, beautifully depicted through computer artwork. The image highlights a section of a liver lobule, emphasizing its vital role in our body's functioning. The hepatocytes, or liver cells, are supplied with oxygenated blood by the hepatic artery represented in blue. Meanwhile, the red-colored hepatic vein carries blood containing substances absorbed from our digestive system for processing by these remarkable hepatocytes. Both arteries and veins converge into the central vein located at the bottom right corner of this illustration. One cannot overlook the significance of bile production within hepatocytes - an essential function that ensures proper digestion. The dark red bile canaliculi collect this precious substance produced by hepatocytes before it is transported to the gall bladder via the yellow-colored bile duct. The black background enhances every detail of this artwork, allowing us to appreciate each labeled structure with clarity and precision. From blood vessels like sinusoids to specific cellular components such as hepatocyte and bile canaliculus, this comprehensive depiction offers valuable insights into liver biology. Science Photo Library has once again provided us with an extraordinary visual representation that merges artistry and scientific accuracy seamlessly. This print serves as a testament to their commitment towards educating and inspiring individuals about various biological wonders found within our bodies – in this case, shedding light on one of our most vital organs: the liver.
