Liver & gallbladder

Product code: HP1503

Whole Whole region / system / unpaired organ.

The liver has key roles in metabolism, nutrition, homeostasis, immunity, and thermoregulation: it is a major generator of body heat. It receives a large blood supply from the digestive (alimentary) canal via the portal venous system. Consequently, it is the largest viscera of the abdominopelvic cavity, with multiple blood supplies, and venous drainage directly into the inferior vena cava. This Silicone Plastinate provides uninterrupted views of the morphology of liver and gallbladder, together with its peritoneal ligaments, the porta hepatis and associated vessels, and the extrahepatic bile ducts.
