Birds have a two-lobed liver primarily to accommodate their unique body structure and organ arrangement, which is influenced by their need for flight. The two lobes allow for efficient processing of nutrients and detoxification, while also leaving space for other vital organs. This configuration helps maintain balance and reduces weight, which is crucial for flight efficiency. Additionally, the liver's lobes can work independently, enhancing metabolic flexibility.

Why does the right lung have 3 lobes and the left have 2?

The left lung has 2 lobes due to the space occupied by the heart, which pushes against the left lung. The right lung has 3 lobes because it has more space in the chest cavity to accommodate the extra lobe.


How many lobes do eosinophils usually have in its nucleus?

Eosinophils have 2 lobes separated by a thin strand of chromatin whereas neutrophils have between 3 and 5 lobes. By knowing this it is easy to tell the difference (in a light microscope) between eosinophils and neutrophils in a blood smear.


What nucleus has 2 lobes and red-orange granules?

The nucleus with two lobes and red-orange granules is known as an eosinophil. Eosinophils are a type of white blood cell involved in the immune response and are characterized by their bright red granules when stained with eosin dye.


What is the organelle that stores and detoxifies different organic compounds?

liver Liver (Hepatic, Latin) Location is below diaphragm more towards the right side. Structure: 2 lobes: larger right & smaller left; each lobe is made up of hepatic lobules which are the functional units of the liver. They are hexagon shaped around a central vein. Functions of the liver are: a. metabolism of monosaccharides, lipoproteins, amino acids. b. storage (glycogen, Vitamin A, B12, D, iron), c. filtering of blood (worn blood cells and debris), d. destruction of toxic chemicals (alcohol and drugs), e. production and secretion of bile.

How many lobes does a fetal pig have in the liver?

"The right lung of a pig has 4 lobes, and the left has 2 or 3 (the number can differ). The reason for the lobe differences is that the heart is positioned further to the left hand side, and the interference of other internal organs prevents the left lung from growing into the thoracic cavity as the right lung does.I dissected a fetal pig last semester, and still had my lab book laying around, so there you go. :c)Source(s):Perry, Morton, Perry.

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.


How many lobes do the right and left lung have?

The right lung contains three lobes. The left lobe only has two. Because of the heart on the left side, the left lung only has two lobes to make more room for the heart to pump on that side.
