Each portal canal (even thesmallest) contains one principalbranch of the vena portte, of the hepatic artery, and of the biliary duct(fig. 543) ; the whole being invested by connective tissue, within whichrun lymphatic vessels. The portal vein subdivides into branches which ramify Mwem thelobules, anastomosing freely around them, and are named interlolivMr orinrirpheral veins (fig. 542, p). The branches of these pass into the lobules. BLOOD-VESSELS OF THE LIVEK. 629 at their circumference and end in the capillary network, from whichthe intralobular or central veins take origin. Within the portal canalsthe branches of the portal veins receive small veins which are retmningblood distributed by branches of the hepatic artery.
