Card 8 / 32:
Describe the location of hepatocytes in the liver and how this arrangement enhances their function.
The hepatocytes are the main cell type of the liver. They process, store, and release nutrients into the blood. Radiating out from the central vein, they are tightly packed around the hepatic sinusoids, allowing the hepatocytes easy access to the blood flowing through the sinusoids.
