'''Hepatocytes''' are the smaller liver cells in the lobules. They contain glycogen granules and have a spherical nucleus. They form cords called '''branching plates''' (lamellae). The upper and lower margins are tight junctions. They have 3 functioning surfaces. '''Kupfer macrophages''' are present near the lining of the sinusoids. The hepatocytes tain pink as they are '''eosinophilic'''.
