![are sej^arated by septa of fibrous tissue, the interlobular vessels lying in the lines formed by the junction of three such septa. Connecting the branches of the portal vein with the hepatic vein is a plexus of capillaries, called the intralobular vessels, through which the blood passes from the portal vessels to the radicles of the hepatic vein and thence into the general circulation. These intra- lobular vessels also receive blood from the hepatic artery, the capillaries from which join them at a little distance from the periphery of the lobule. The radicles of the hepatic vein are called the central veins, from their situation in the axes of the lobules, which are conceived as having a somewhat cylindrical shape (Fig. 126). Vessels and bile-ducts of u lobule of a rabbit's liver in transverse section. (Cadiat.) a, cen- tral vein ; b, b, interlobular veins (branches of the portal vein); c, interlobular bile-duct, receiving capillary bile-ducts from the lobule. Between a and b is the capillary plexus called the intralobular vessels. The biliary radicles are not represented throughout the figure, and the branches of the hepatic artery have lieen wholly omitted. Between the int('rl()])ular ea])illaries are rows of epithelial cells, which con.stitute the functional part of the liver, its parenciiyma. They appear to touch the walls of the capillaries, but are, in reality, separated from them by a narrow lymph-space (Fig. 127).
