ClipArt ETC

This human anatomy ClipArt gallery offers 32 illustrations of the human endocrine system, which includes the system of organs involved in the production of hormones responsible for regulating metabolism, growth, development, and tissue function that are not included in the other systems. Organs in this category include the thyroid, parathyroid, thymus, adrenal glands, liver, and pancreas.

Diagram of two hepatic lobules of the liver. "The left hand lobule is represented with the intralobular vein cut across; in the right hand one the section takes the course of the intralobular vein. p, interlobular branches of the portal vein; h, intralobular branches of the hepatic veins; s, sublobular vein; c, capillaries of the lobules. The arrows indicate the direction of the course of the blood. The liver cells are only represented in one part of each lobule." — Kimber, 1907.

The liver from the below and behind, showing the whole of the visceral surface and the posterior area of the parietal surface. The portal fissure has been slightly opened up to show the vessels passing through it; the other fissures are represented in their natural condition-closed. In this liver, which was hardeded in situ, the impressions of the sacculations of the colon were distinctly visible at the colic impression. The round ligament and the remains of the ductus venosus are hidden in the depths of their fissures.

Fissures and Lobes of the liver. There are 5 fissures of the liver, which are situated on the inferior and posterior surfaces and arranged in the form of the letter H. There are 5 lobes of the liver, but 3 are mere lobules of the right lobe, formed by the smaller fissures.

Diagram to illustrate the arrangement of the blood vessels (on right) within the lobule of the liver. The first diagram shows the interlobular veins running around the outerside of the lobule, and sending their capillaries into the lobule to join the central radiation to the periphery of the lobule, where they can join the interlobular bile ducts.

Lobules of the liver (1), which are small, granular-looking bodies, of polygonal shape, and about 1/20 inch in diameter, clustered around the sublobular branches of the hepatic veins, and connected together by connective tissue (3), blood-vessels, ducts (2), and lymphatics. Each lobule consists of a mass of hepatic cells, surrounded by a dense capillary plexus, and contains the minute beginnings of a bile-duct, the so-called biliary capillaries; possessing therefore all the essential constituents of a secreting gland. A lobule contains hepatic cells, lobular veins (3), intralobular veins (4), and plexuses of lymphatics, nerves, and bile-ducts.
