How is a liver cell adapted to its job?
The hepatocyte is very well adapted to perform its job. The hepatocyte is polygonal in shape and very permeable. This allow substances to pass in and out easily to the blood stream. This allows the liver to purify toxins in the body and allows the cells to secrete enzymes need for digestion.
What are names of cells that are in your body?
There are thousands and thousands of different kinds of cells in the body. If you could be more specific in the type of cells you want, we can better answer your question. A few random ones: Dermatocyte Hepatocyte Erythrocyte Leukocyte Neuron Schwann cell Parietal cell Myocyte
What structure is abundant in liver cells?
Macro anatomy of liverFor the ease of understanding , liver is anatomically divided into lobes. On its top view, liver shows the left and right lobes separated by the falciform ligament. On the inferior view (from below), it appears with four lobes. However, the organ is roughly divided into 2 principal lobes, right and a left lobe. The falciform ligament forms a septum resulting in the left and right lobes. The abdomen and the liver is thinly separated by a membrane called peritoneum. Peritoneum is the covering layer of all the abdominal organs. Peritoneum has 2 divisions; outer parietal divisions and the inner visceral layer that actually touches the surface of liver. Liver is surrounded by a number of organs forming various impressions. Some of the impressions are gastric impression, renal impression, suprarenal impression, colic impression, and duodenal impression.Microscopic anatomy of liverUnlike other organs, the liver is supplied with two major sources of blood; the portal channel and the hepatic channel. The hepatic artery connected to the major abdominal aorta brings pure blood from the heart, similarly, the impure blood is removed from the liver with the help of 3 hepatic veins. Additionally, portal circulation rich in multiple capillaries and veins also supply the blood from in and out of the liver. Microscopically, liver is divided into a number of hepatic lobules. Each lobule appears hexagonal made up of plates of hepatocytes. Hepatocytes (liver cells) joins the central vein that carry blood out of the liver. If we analyse the histology (microscopic anatomy) of the liver, two major types of liver cells are found: parenchymal cells and the non-parenchymal cells. 3/4th of the liver is filled with the parenchymal hepatocytes and the remaining ¼ is made up of non-parenchymal cells. The liver contains sinusoids, lined with 2 types of cells called sinusoidal endothelial cells, and phagocytic Kupffer cells. Furthermore, hepatic stellate cells are one of the type of non-parenchymal cells found alongside perisinusoidal space, between a sinusoid and a hepatocyte, some intrahepatic lymphocytes are often found within the sinusoidal lumen. The functional lobes of the liver are separated by the imaginary plane called Cantlie's line that joins the gallbladder fossa to the inferior vena cava. The plane separates the liver into left and the right lobes. The middle hepatic vein also demarcates the true right and left lobes.
Which body organ are hepatocyte cells from?
Liver Hepatocyte cells help remove toxins from the blood and synthesize proteins.
Is a hepatocyte a somatic cell?
Yes, a hepatocyte is a somatic cell. All the cells in the body, except for sex cells (sperm and ovum/egg), are somatic cells.
What is a cell name that starts with letter H?
· Hepatocyte (liver cell)
How does hepatocyte cause death?
If this stops working you will die from acute liver failure

What are some cells that begin with the letter h?
· Hepatocyte (liver cell)
Does Hepatocyte have cell walls?
No, hepatocytes are cells found in livers, and only animals have livers. Animal cells do not have cell walls.
What organelles do liver cells have?
Hepatocyte's have mitochondria, ribosomes, Golgi bodies, endoplasmic reticulum (rough and smooth,) glycogen, lysosomes, nucleus and nucleolus. I think.
What is the size of a hepatocyte cell?
The normal size of liver is between 9cm to 15cm.
What has the author Mariam Mashregi written?
Mariam Mashregi has written: 'Accelerated cytotoxic mechanism screening of isoniazid and phenylhydrazine using an in vitro hepatocyte inflammation model'
What type of epithelial tissue does the liver?
No. These are the cells that make up most of the liver's tissue and preform specialized liver functions. They contain organelles.
AST (aspartate aminotransferase)?
Found in highly metabolic tissues (liver, brain, pancreas, kidneys, heart)....not very specific.....maker of hepatocyte (or other organ) damage...needs to be part of a picture
