If one ofthe sublobular veins be opened (as in the figure), the bases of the lobulesmay be seen through the coats of the vein, which are here very thin,presenting a tesselated appearance, each little polygonal space repre-senting the base of a lobule, and having in its centre a small spot,which is the mouth of the intralobular vein (i). s s 2. 628 THE LIVEE. Each lobule consists of a mass of cells penetrated from the chcum-ference to the centre by a close network of blood-capillaries, as well Fig. 542.
