Topic: Lobule


In the News (Wed 15 Feb 12)

  
  SIU SOM Histology GI
The liver is organized into lobules which take the shape of polygonal prisms Each lobule is typically hexagonal in cross section and is centered on a branch of the hepatic vein (called, logically enough, the central vein).
The lobule is typically hexagonal in cross section, with a central vein at its center and portal areas at its peripheral corners.
In cross sections, the lobule is filled by cords of hepatic parenchymal cells, hepatocytes, which radiate from the central vein and are separated by vascular sinusoids.

 Gray, Henry. 1918. Anatomy of the Human Body. Page 790
Laterally, it expands in either hemisphere into a considerable lobule, the superior semilunar lobule (lobulus semilunaris superior; postero-superior lobules), which occupies the posterior third of the upper surface of the hemisphere, and is bounded below by the horizontal sulcus.
In the hemispheres this fissure passes in front of the tonsil, crosses between the flocculus in front and the biventral lobule behind, and joins the anterior end of the horizontal sulcus.
(3) The postpyramidal fissure passes across the vermis between the pyramid and the tuber vermis, and, in the hemispheres, courses behind the tonsil and biventral lobules, and then along the lateral border of the biventral lobule to the postnodular sulcus; in the hemisphere it forms the anterior boundary of the inferior semilunar lobule.

 eMedicine - Rhinoplasty, Vertical Dome Division : Article by John M Hilinski, MD
Ideally, the infratip lobule is observed on lateral view as a subtle break in the columellar profile, with slight cephalic angulation.
The lobule is defined as the portion of the nasal tip complex that is situated anterior to the nostrils; it extends from the tip defining point to the junction with the columella, as observed on base view.
The lobule length should be equal to a third of the nasal base, while the columella and adjacent nostril length should equal two thirds of the nasal base.

 Hepatic Histology: The Lobule
The connective tissue septae invaginating from the capsule delineate hepatic lobules, the structural unit of the liver.
Lobules are almost impossible to miss in porcine liver, but one should also be able to recognize them in other species.
Although the precise boundaries of lobules are sometimes difficult to discern, orienting on central veins and portal tracts allow "easy" identification.

Lobules are subunits of the lobes and are separated by thin extensions of the septa.
Whereas lobules in pigs are defined by a sheath of connective tissue, there is less connective tissue in humans and the lobule boundaries are indistinct.
The boundaries of human lobules can be estimated, however, by noting the positions of the portal triads at the lobule periphery, the central vein at its center, and the alternating hepatocyte plates and sinusoids that lie between them.

 THE BRAIN FROM TOP TO BOTTOM
The inferior parietal lobule of the left hemisphere lies at a key location in the brain, at the junction of the auditory, visual, and somatosensory cortexes, with which it is massively connected.
The inferior parietal lobule is one of the last structures of the human brain to have developed in the course of evolution.
The inferior parietal lobule is also one of the last structures to mature in human children, and there are reasons to believe that it may play a key role in the acquisition of language.

Radiating from the center to the lobule periphery are branching, anastamosing plates of hepatocytes, one or two cells thick, separated by capillaries, the liver sinusoids.
Central veins leave the lobules at their base as the sublobular veins, which converge to form the hepatic veins and empty into the inferior vena cava.

The structural plan of the liver is a reflection of its vascular supply, and it is important to understand the transitional relationships between the incoming hepatic artery and portal vein, and the hepatic vein which drains blood from the liver into the inferior vena cava.
In addition to recognizing the landmarks of the classical lobule, the student should also be aware of the boundaries and axial structures of the portal lobule and hepatic acinus.
While in the pig each lobule is clearly demarcated by connective tissue, in the human liver, demarkation between adjacent lobules is not clear and connective tissue can be seen mainly in the sites that contain branches of the hepactic artery, hepatic portal vein and bile duct.

The secondary lobule is separated from the neighbouring lobules by thin linear shadows corresponding to the interlobular septa.
The central portion of the secondary lobule consists of preterminal, terminal and respiratory bonchioles (thin parallel lines), accompanying pulmonary arteries(200-300 microns in diameter), interstitial tissue enveloping these bronchovascular structures and adjacent alveolar tissue.
Contrast to the central portion of the secondary lobule, marginal structures of the lobule include the interlobular septa, visceral pleura, pulmonary veins and extralobular bronchi and arteries.

Cords of hepatocytes extend from the central vein to the periphery of the lobule.
Because blood flow in the classic hepatic lobule occurs from the periphery towards the central vein, the hepatocytes on the periphery are most active.
Hepatocytes located in the middle of the lobule are intermittently active, while those in the center are the least active.

Toward the peripheral part of the lobule the bile-capillaries are larger, while adjoining channels anastomose, and leave the lobule, where they become interlobular ducts, which join with other similar ducts to form larger bile-ducts..
On reaching the periphery of the lobules, a number of capillaries are given off, which penetrate the lobule, and terminate in the capillaries of the portal vein.
It enters the liver at the transverse fissure, accompanied by the bile-duct and hepatic artery, and is distributed between the lobules.

The responses therefore resembled anterior lobe (lobule V) C1 and C3 zone sites in many respects, including the extent to which overall mean size of the response was reduced during locomotion, the depth of step-related modulation and the proportion of step histograms in which depressions were present (cf.
A, pairs of rostral PML and lobule V step histograms generated by the same nerve stimuli were compared as to the extent of any shift in the position of the step tenth in which response mean size was largest ( n = 13 comparisons).
This difference in phasing of the step-related modulation cannot be explained by any variation in the test volley in the SR nerve, nor by the use of different stimulus intensities in different experiments, because the same nerve stimulation evoked different patterns of modulation at pairs of sites recorded simultaneously within the anterior lobe and PML.
