Fig. 5: The reconstruction of the peribiliary plexus.
From: Multiscale reconstruction of various vessels in the intact murine liver lobe
a The vessel distribution of the portal triads. Bile ducts and peribiliary are pointed with the white arrow. b Reconstruction of vessels in a selected local block. Portal vein, hepatic artery, bile ducts, and peribiliary plexus are respectively marked in blue, red, green, and pink. The cyan arrow indicates portal vein. The red arrow indicates hepatic artery. The white arrow indicates peribiliary plexus. The blue arrow indicates bile ducts. c The intersection of the peribiliary vascular plexus with the hepatic artery and portal vein is marked using yellow arrows. d The merged channel image at the intersection of hepatic artery and peribiliary vascular plexus indicated with the upper right arrow in (c). The intersection is marked with the yellow arrows. e The local area of merged channel images at the intersection between portal vein and peribiliary vascular plexus indicated with the lower left arrow in (c). The intersection is marked with yellow arrow. PV portal vein, HA hepatic vein, BD bile duct. Scale bar, 25 μm (a, b), 50 μm (c), 10 μm (d, e).
