00:00 So let's wrap up this video series. The liver is made of around 100,000 small hexagonal functional units known as lobules. Each lobule consists of a central vein surrounded by 6 hepatic portal triads, and each triad contains 1 hepatic vein, 1 hepatic artery, and 1 bile duct. 00:21 Now within each lobule, hepatocytes are arranged in hepatic cords that are separated by the adjacent sinusoids. Sinusoids are low-pressure vascular channels, and they receive blood from the terminal branches of the hepatic artery and the portal vein at the periphery of the lobules. Thank you for watching our video today.
The lecture Hepatic Lobule: In a Nutshell (Nursing) by Rhonda Lawes, PhD, RN is from the course Liver Functions and Dysfunctions (Nursing).
