    Area of Science:

    • Comparative anatomy
    • Microcirculation research
    • Hepatic physiology

    Context:

    • The liver's complex vascular network is crucial for its metabolic and detoxification functions.
    • Understanding the hepatic vascular bed's microanatomy is key to diagnosing and treating liver diseases.
    • Previous studies have not fully elucidated the spatial relationships between arterial, venous, and lymphatic vessels within hepatic lobules.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the three-dimensional architecture of the hepatic vascular bed, including arterial, venous, and lymphatic components, in dogs and rats.
    • To describe the specific construction features of these vessels using scanning electron microscopy.
    • To identify mechanisms regulating blood and lymph flow within the liver.

    Summary:

    • Scanning electron microscopy of canine and rat liver preparations revealed the spatial organization of the hepatic vascular and lymphatic systems.
    • The portal vein system contains more vessels than the hepatic artery system within lobules. Gradients in nuclear morphology were observed in endothelial and muscle cells.
    • Lymphatic capillaries form initial capillary networks in connective tissue, with extensive lymphatic and blood capillary plexuses accompanying portal veins, hepatic veins, and bile ducts.

    Impact:

    • Provides a detailed microanatomical map of the liver's vascular and lymphatic drainage pathways.
    • Highlights the structural basis for differential blood and lymph flow regulation within the liver.
    • Offers insights into potential targets for therapeutic interventions aimed at modulating hepatic circulation and lymphatic function.
