MORPHOLOGY AND SOME MORPHOMETRIC PARAMETERS OF THE LIVER

Abstract

In recent years, the number of cases of chronic diffuse liver diseases has increased worldwide. In this regard, the relevance of morphological studies of the portal vein (PV) vascular system for solving particular issues of diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of CDPD in conditions of the development of portal hypertension increases. We know that the liver is the largest gland in the human and animal body and is a vital organ. For many centuries, it has attracted and continues to attract the attention of researchers from various fields of medical and not only medical knowledge. However, until now, issues of development, structure, functions, as well as compensatory-adaptive properties of this organ remain unresolved, and interest to the liver as an object of research does not weaken both in general biological and medical aspects.
