remove the debris such as bacteria from the blood as it flows. It empties into the central vein, and the blood drains from the liver via the hepatic veins.

Where would you find the kupffer cells of the liver?
They line the sinusoids.
Kupffer cells are phagocytes located in the?
Kupffer cells are phagocytes which line the sinusoids of the liver.
Process in which alcohol enters the boloodstream?
In the liver from hepatocytes (liver cells) in to the Hepatic sinusoids.
How the anatomical design of the hepatic circulation serves its function?
You have capillaries in the gastrointestinal tract. The capillaries unite to form the veins. You have again formation of the capillaries in the liver. Here the blood has to pass through the sinusoids to the central vein. The blood is accompanied by blood from the hepatic artery. The portal blood carry the nutrients. The hepatic artery carry the oxygen. The liver cells are metabolically active. They need both to perform the desired function. So you have very unique arrangement in the liver. So you have capillaries - veins - capillaries in portal circulation.
Why is the metaphysis predisposed to embolus formation?
The nutrient arteries near the epiphyseal cartilage are nonanastomosing, thereby allowing any blockage to produce tissue necrosis and the sinusoids (venous side of capillary) have slow, turbulent flow predisposing to thrombosis.
What is the difference between fourier series and discrete fourier transform?
Fourier series is the sum of sinusoids representing the given function which has to be analysed whereas discrete fourier transform is a function which we get when summation is done.
Where are sinusoids found?
liver
What are modified capillaries that are lined with phagocytes called?
sinusoids
Do thyroid and parathyroid glands have blood filled sinusoids?
yes
Where would you find the kupffer cells of the liver?
They line the sinusoids.
Where would you expect to find the hepatic macrophages of the liver?
Hepatic macrophages are special phagocytic cells, also called Kupffer cells, that line the sinusoids and remove debris from the blood.
What is the irregular blood that filled the space found in the liver spleen?
Sinusoids
What is formed from dilated endometrial cappillaries around the developing embryo?
maternal sinusoids
What is a sessil?
Macrophages that do not move, they are attached to wide blood vessels (sinuses or sinusoids).
What are the large fixed phagocytes in the lining of the hepatic sinusoids called?
Kupffer cells
What is a Sessile Macrophage?
Macrophages that do not move, they are attached to wide blood vessels (sinuses or sinusoids).
Kupffer cells are phagocytes located in the?
Kupffer cells are phagocytes which line the sinusoids of the liver.
