This functional tissue unit (FTU) illustration was created from anatomical structures and cell types listed in the ASCT+B Table Liver v1.1. Multiple histology atlases, especially Netter’s Essential Histology with Correlated Histopathology (Ovalle, Nahirney, and Netter 2021; Junqueira’s Basic Histology Text & Atlas Mescher 2024; Human Microscopic Anatomy Krstić 1991; and Histology: A Text and Atlas Wojciech Pawlina and Michael H. Ross 2019) were referenced. Measurements were taken from (Hall et al. 2017; Gray, Gray, and Lewis 1918; Krebs, Neville, and Vacanti 2007). Uberon describes this FTU as follows: "The polygonal structure of the liver that consists of hepatocytes radiating outward from a hepatic vein."
