Is hepatocytes another name for hepato lobules??
Or both are different??
Dear student,
Hepatocytes and hepato lobules are not the same.
Liver cells are called as hepatocytes.
A histological unit of the liver is called hepatic lobule. It is a hexagon containing liver cells arranged around a central vein which is the terminal branch of one of the hepatic veins. The hepatocytes or liver cells are radiating outwards.
Regards
