Abstract:
AgNO3 staining by generally accepted methods revealed the presence of silver-absorptive cells in the liver, particularly in perivascular areas. These cells exhibited positive argyrophilia and argentophilia. Lead haematoxylin staining and Solcia's azo-coupling methods allowed identification of the cells, which can be included among the cells of the APUD system.

The liver is an important organ in vertebrates that plays an essential role in metabolism. It is also responsible for storing and redistributing nutrients such as carbohydrates, fats, and vitamins in the body. Additionally, the liver releases bile salts which are critical for digesting food and eliminating toxic metabolites from the body.

The microscopic anatomy of the liver is a complex and intricate system that comprises numerous structural units known as liver lobules, each of which is comparable in size to a sesame seed. These hexagonal structures consist of plates of liver cells or hepatocytes, which are characterized by their versatility and abundance of cellular apparatus like rough and smooth ER, Golgi apparatus, peroxisomes, and mitochondria.
