Venae Interlobulares Hepatis (Noun)
Meaning
Interlobular veins of the liver.
Classification
Nouns denoting body parts.
Examples
- The interlobular veins of the liver, also known as venae interlobulares hepatis, collect blood from the lobules and transport it to the hepatic veins.
- The terminal hepatic veins merge with the sublobular veins, then the venae interlobulares hepatis, and finally the hepatic veins.
- In the context of liver histology, venae interlobulares hepatis are easier to distinguish than lobules due to their larger diameter.
- The portal vein, hepatic artery, and venae interlobulares hepatis interact closely within the hepatic lobule.
- Sectioning the liver often involves following the course of the venae interlobulares hepatis and hepatic veins to establish liver anatomy during surgery.
