Each lobule is made up of a large number of liver cells, which, like the lobules themselves, and from a similar cause, viz. mutual pressure, are polyhedral in shape. The liver capillaries mn among these cells in a manner which will be understood by referring to Fig. 83. The capillaries arise from the ultimate branches of the portal vein,^ 1 The hepatic artery supplies the capsule of the liver, the portal canal, and the walls of the vessels lying therein, and also has interlobular branches, which are much smaller than those of the portal vein.
