NUCLEI OF OTHER CELL TYPES
It is always important to pay attention to the numerous details of a histological section.
Did you notice nuclei of other cell types in addition to the spherical nuclei of the hepatocytes?
Place the cursor or click on the figure to observe them highlighted in green.
They are generally stronger stained than the nuclei of hepatocytes and their shape is not always circular. Some of them (mostly round) are nuclei of blood cells that circulate within the spaces between the hepatocytes, such as lymphocytes, others are long and are probably cells that cover the plates formed by hepatocytes.
