description

Liver is made up of at least five important cell types: hepatocytes, endothelial cells, Kupffer cells, pit cells, and fat-storing cells. These cells have been broadly classified into two groups: parenchymal cells, or the hepatocytes which comprise almost 65% of the liver cells (Miyai, 1979), and nonparenchymal cells, to which all the other cell types belong.
