" The lobules are composed of an intertexture of biliary tubes (.fig. 317.) ; and in the inter- spaces of the network the blood-vessels ramify and form among themselves an intricate anastomosis, the whole being intimately con- nected together by a combination of the white fibrous and the yellow elastic tissue. In Biliary plexus in human Liver. Transverse section of a lobule of the human liver' highly magnified, showing the reticulate struc- ture of the biliary tubes. In the centre of the figure is seen the hepatic vein cut across, and several small branches terminating in it. At the periphery are seen branches of the hepatic artery, vena ports, and hepatic duct. (.After *. Biliary plexus in human Liver. A small portion of the same section more highly magnified. The secreting cells are seen within the tubes; and in the interspaces of the latter, the fibrous tissue is represented. (After Leidy.} structure, the biliary tubes (Jigs. 318,319.) cor- respond with those of Invertebrata, consisting Fig. Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Todd, Robert Bentley, 1809-1860.
