==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
