Liver portal triad, light micrograph C016 / 8488
Liver portal triad. Fluorescence deconvolution micrograph of a section through a portal triad in liver tissue, showing hepatocyte cells (red), connective tissue (green) inside the periportal limiting plate, and cell nuclei (blue dots). A portal triad (portal field, or portal tract) is a distinctive arrangement in the liver where the proper hepatic artery, hepatic portal vein, common bile duct, lymphatic vessels and a branch of the vagus nerve meet. The ring of hepatocytes abutting the connective tissue of the triad is called the periportal limiting plate

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of a liver portal triad, providing a glimpse into the fascinating world of cellular biology. The image, captured using fluorescence deconvolution microscopy, reveals hepatocyte cells in vibrant red, connective tissue in vivid green within the periportal limiting plate, and cell nuclei represented as tiny blue dots. A portal triad is a unique arrangement found within the liver where several vital components converge - including the proper hepatic artery, hepatic portal vein, common bile duct, lymphatic vessels, and a branch of the vagus nerve. The ring of hepatocytes that borders the connective tissue in this triad is known as the periportal limiting plate. The print offers an extraordinary view into normal liver anatomy at a microscopic level. It highlights blood vessels and biological structures essential for maintaining healthy liver function. By utilizing specific stains and dyes to target proteins within different cell types and tissues, researchers can gain valuable insights into various aspects of liver histology. This remarkable image was captured by R. BICK and B. POINDEXTER from UT Medical School/Science Photo Library using advanced light microscopy techniques. It serves as both an educational tool for students studying cytology or histology and a visual testament to the beauty hidden within animal tissue such as rat tissue when viewed through modern scientific lenses.
