Q

What are sinusoids?

A

Sinusoids are low pressure vascular channels that receive blood from terminal branches of the hepatic artery and portal vein at the periphery of lobules and deliver it into central veins. Sinusoids are lined with endothelial cells and flanked by plates of hepatocytes.

Q

What does the size of loop of henle associated with?

A

The size of the loop of henle is associated with the ability to reabsorb the water back into the blood stream. The longer the loop, the more water can be reabsorbed.
