The liver has been described as a collection of units called lobules, each of which contains, in its centre, a branch of the hepatic vein and, in its outer areas, a complex known as a portal tract. The portal tract includes a bile duct, a small branch of the portal vein, and a branch of the hepatic artery. 1, record 9, English, - portal%20tract

The hepatic lobules are small structural units of the liver enclosed by a thin layer of connective tissue formed by the branches of the Glisson's capsule. Where several lobules join, the connective tissue is more abundant and encloses a blood vessel, vein, nerves, lymphatic vessels, and small bile ducts. The structures together with the connective tissue form the "portal canals". 2, record 9, English, - portal%20tract
