THE HUMAN LIVER: MORPHOLOGY, MICROSTRUCTURE, AND CLINICAL CORRELATIONS

Authors/Creators

Description

The liver is one of the most vital organs of the human body, serving as the central metabolic hub and performing over 500 distinct functions. Its complex morphology and histological organization provide the basis for detoxification, bile secretion, nutrient storage, and metabolic regulation. This paper examines the gross anatomy, microstructure, vascular supply, and functional correlations of the liver. The study highlights the importance of an integrated anatomical understanding for clinical practice, especially in surgery, hepatology, and transplantation medicine.
