Light micrograph of liver tissue showing radial cords of hepatocytes (orange-brown stain) arranged around a central vein. Between the rows of hepatocytes are many blood vessels termed hepatic sinusoids. Supporting the sinusoids is a connective tissue framework of reticular fibres consisting of type III collagen. The liver is thus heavily perfused by blood chiefly entering from the hepatic portal vein. Paraffin section, Gordon and Sweet's reticulin stain. Magnification: x55 when width printed at 10cm. | |
