It consists of connective tissue and contains the vessels. The capsule is also covered by a layer of mesothelium, arising from the peritoneum covering the liver.

Detailed explanation-4: -The liver has a thin capsule of dense connective tissue, and a visceral (inferior) layer of peritoneal mesothelium, and is divided into left and right lobes.

Detailed explanation-5: -Liver lobules are collections of hepatocytes in a hexagonal shape with the center being a central vein.
