Which of the following best describes the structure and function of the liver? Hexagonal plates of hepatocytes surrounding a central vein with portal triads at each corner Octagonal plates of hepatocytes surrounding a central artery with portal triads at each corner Hexagonal plates of hepatocytes are surrounded by sinusoid, a mixing of the 02 rich blood from the hepatic artery and the nutrient- rich blood from the central vein The liver is unique in that it receives blood from two sources: the hepatic artery and the central vein
