Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
.The structure on the histological preparation of the organ parenchyma is represented by lobules, which are shaped like hexagonal prisms and consist of anastomosing beams, between which lie sinusoidal capillaries that radially converge to the central vein. What anatomical organ has this morphological structure?
A
Liver
B
Pancreas
C
Thymus
D
Spleen
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The hepatic lobule is observed as a hexagon-like structure where the central vein is located at the center and the hepatocytes form radiating cords from the central vein, similar to the spokes of a wheel radiating from the central hub. At the outside “corners” of the hexagon are portal triads.

Detailed explanation-2: -The liver has two lobes-the right and the left. Each lobe is made up of thousands of hexagonally-shaped lobules. These lobules are very small. Each lobule is made up of numerous liver cells, called hepatocytes, that line up in radiating rows.

Detailed explanation-3: -The liver is surrounded by connective tissue, designated as Glisson’s capsule. It is composed of polygonal lobules separated by connective tissue.

Detailed explanation-4: -The liver is a mixed gland surrounded by a thin capsule of connective tissue, the Glisson capsule, dividing the parenchyma into lobules and lobuli. The histological unity of the liver is composed of the liver lobuli, with classic, portal and acini conceptions.
