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.

Kupffer cells are phagocytes located in the?

Kupffer cells are phagocytes located in the liver. They help clear debris, pathogens, and aged blood cells from the bloodstream, contributing to the liver's overall function in immune surveillance and detoxification.


Where would you find the kupffer cells of the liver?

Kupffer cells are specialized macrophages found in the liver, specifically within the sinusoids, which are specialized blood vessels in the liver. They play a key role in the immune system by removing debris, pathogens, and other foreign particles from the blood passing through the liver.


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.


Where would you expect to find the kupffer cells of the liver and what is their function?

Function of Kupffer cellsLiver contains macrophages called Kupffer cells. These cells engulf and breakdown toxic matter such as microorganisms, dead cells and chemicals. Kupffer cells ingest microorganism by phagocytosis. The engulfed microorganism is called phagosome. Lysosmes in the cytoplasm of kupffer cell, fuse with the phagosome and release digestive enzymes. These enzymes breakdown and kill the microorganism.But how does kupffer cell identify toxic matter?There are receptors for the toxic matter on the surface of kupffer cells. The harmful particle and these receptors of kupffer cell can fit together like pieces of a puzzle. The harmful particle is then engulfed by kupffer cell.

What organ contains lobules with sinusoids that lead to a central venous structure?

The liver contains lobules with sinusoids that lead to a central vein called the central vein or hepatic vein. Each lobule is made up of hepatic cells (hepatocytes) arranged around a central vein, which functions to drain blood from the sinusoids in the lobule.
