- The liver plays crucial roles in metabolism, immunity, digestion, detoxification, and vitamin storage, acting as a key organ for fat-soluble vitamins and minerals such as iron and copper.
- A study was conducted using six healthy adult guinea pigs to analyze the liver's ultrastructure through scanning (SEM) and transmission (TEM) electron microscopy, following ethical guidelines.
- SEM revealed liver parenchyma featuring lobular structures with cell plates and sinusoids, while TEM showed hepatocytes with distinct shapes and features, including a unique arrangement of endothelial and Kupffer cells along with spaces crucial for liver function.
