The liver is the only human organ that has the remarkable property of self-regeneration. If a part of the liver is removed, the remaining parts can grow back to its original size and shape. Branches of this vein pass in between the lobules and terminate in the sinusoids .
Oxygenated blood is supplied in the hepatic artery .
The blood leaves the liver via a central vein in each lobule, which drains in the hepatic vein . Hepatic vein - one of several short veins originating within the lobes of the liver as small branches, which unite to form the hepatic veins. These lead directly to the inferior vena cava , draining blood from the liver. Inferior vena cava - formed by the union of the right and left common iliac veins, collects blood from parts of the body below the diaphragm and conveys it to the right atrium of the heart. Hepatic artery - a blood vessel which supplies the liver with oxygenated blood.
