Please answer these questions on the subject of Histology: 1. What are the functions of the liver? 2. What are the ultrastructural characteristics of hepatocytes? 3. Describe the morpho-functional units of the liver (classic and portal lobules, acinus) and mention the direction of blood and bile flow. 4. What are the features of liver blood supply (sequence of blood vessels)? 5. What is the structure of liver sinusoids? 6. Define the space of Disse and the cells located there.
