Is a liver cell a somatic cell?
Yes, a liver cell is a type of somatic cell. Somatic cells are any cell in the body that is not a sperm or egg cell. Liver cells are an example of somatic cells because they make up the majority of the cells in the liver and are responsible for the organ's function.
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.
Which cells might be used in a laboratory to make a heart cell?
Liver cells
How many cell types does the liver have?
The liver contains several cell types, with the primary ones being hepatocytes, which make up about 70-80% of the liver's mass and are responsible for its metabolic functions. Other important cell types include Kupffer cells (macrophages), hepatic stellate cells (involved in vitamin A storage and fibrosis), and endothelial cells lining the blood vessels. Additionally, there are bile duct epithelial cells and immune cells, contributing to the liver's diverse functions and architecture. Overall, the liver comprises at least a dozen distinct cell types.
Is the liver composed of the body cells?
no. a kidney is not composed of body cells. but liver, sperm, and a single bone are composed of body cells. :)
What does the liver consists of?
Ys, every organ in the body is composed of tissues - cells form tissues which form organs which form organisms. The liver is no different - various cells form different tissues that together make up the liver which in turn is part of the organism (the human or animal).

Is liver a protein?
No, the liver is an organ made up of cells.
What is the liver made up of?
Cells
Which cells might be used in laboratory to make heart cells?
Liver cells
What happens if your liver does not make blood?
Bone marrow makes blood cells, not the liver.
Which cells might be used in a laboratory to make a heart cell?
Liver cells
Are heart and liver cells the same?
No, they are very different. The cells that make up the liver need to perform a different job from the heart.
Is liver cancer cirrhosis?
Liver cancer is not the same as liver cirrhosis. Cancer is a replication of malignant (or, "damaged") cells, which gradually take over an organ, reducing the function, and may spread to other parts of the body. (i.e, cancer cells growing and taking over the liver, reducing function). Whereas cirrhosis is vast amounts of scarring to the hepatocytes (liver cells), which make up the liver. (i.e liver cells, which are already in existence, being damaged). Cirrhosis does not spread to other parts of the body.
What cells do you have in the liver?
hepatic cells.
How would the histopathology department identify liver disease?
Histopathology is the study of the diseases of cells. So the histo department would examine cells from a liver biopsy to see what is causing the liver disease, the liver being made up of millions and millions of cells.
