hepatic sinusoid in dogs

Wide thin-walled blood vessels in the liver. In mammals they have neither veinous or arterial markers. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the hepatic sinusoid is

Wide thin-walled blood vessels in the liver. In mammals they have neither veinous or arterial markers. The atlas records it as a tissue at the tissue scale in the dog.

Where the hepatic sinusoid is

It sits in the abdomen and trunk, within the cardiovascular, digestive and endocrine systems. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What the hepatic sinusoid connects to

The atlas records 8 typed relationships for it, across 5 kinds of connection. part of liver, liver lobule and vasculature of liver.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the hepatic sinusoid. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Also called

Also recorded as liver hepatic sinusoids, liver sinusoid, liver sinusoidal blood vessel, sinusoid of liver, sinusoidal blood vessel of liver and vas capillare sinusoideum, and 2 more. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the hepatic sinusoid?

It sits in the abdomen and trunk, within the cardiovascular, digestive and endocrine systems. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What does the hepatic sinusoid connect to?

Part of: liver, liver lobule and vasculature of liver.

Is the hepatic sinusoid the same in other species?

This page describes the dog. The human record of the same structure sits beside it on /compare, over one shared model rather than two atlases built separately.
