==Introduction==
 +
 +
Includes development and overview of the system
 +
(Paragraph format)
 +
 +
==Structure==
 +
 +
*2 lobes
 +
 +
*Dark brown coloured
 +
 +
*Right lobe larger than left lobe
 +
 +
*Ventral and caudal to the heart
 +
 +
*CLosely associated to the proventriculus and spleen
 +
 +
*Thin capsule
 +
 +
*Indistinct lobation
 +
 +
==Function==
 +
 +
*
 +
 +
==Vasculature==
 +
 +
*See [[Liver - Anatomy & Physiology#Vasculature|liver vasculature]]
 +
 +
==Innervation==
 +
 +
*See [[Liver - Anatomy & Physiology#Innervation|liver innervation]]
 +
 +
==Lymphatics==
 +
 +
*See [[Liver - Anatomy & Physiology#Lymphatics|liver lymphatics]]
 +
 +
==Histology==
 +
 +
*Polyhedral and angular cells
 +
 +
*Larger cells than in mammals
 +
 +
*Large, spherical nucleus
 +
 +
*Base of cell forms a wall of the sinusoid
 +
 +
*Cell apices communicate with the bile canaliculi
 +
 +
*Granular cytoplasm
 +
 +
*Liver cords form columns around the interlobular bile capillary. The cell arrangement is simpler than in mammals.
 +
 +
*Sinusoids anastamose freely
 +
 +
*Kupfer cells present
 +
 +
*Reticular fibres support the liver cords
 +
 +
*Elastic fibres in the capsule and vessels
