maksakudosta

Maksakudosta refers to the tissue of the liver. The liver is a large organ located in the upper right quadrant of the abdomen, below the diaphragm and above the stomach, right kidney, and intestines. It is the largest internal organ and the largest gland in the human body. The liver plays a vital role in numerous bodily functions, including detoxification, protein synthesis, and the production of biochemicals necessary for digestion.

The primary functional cells of the liver are hepatocytes, which are responsible for the majority of the liver's functions. These cells are arranged in lobules, with a central vein and hepatic triads at the periphery. The liver's tissue is highly vascularized, receiving blood from both the hepatic artery and the portal vein. This dual blood supply is crucial for delivering nutrients and oxygen to the liver cells and for processing blood from the digestive system.

Diseases affecting maksakudosta can manifest in various ways, impacting its ability to perform its essential functions. Conditions such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, fatty liver disease, and liver cancer all involve damage or dysfunction of the liver tissue. The health of the liver tissue is directly linked to overall health, and impaired liver function can lead to a wide range of systemic problems. Regular medical check-ups and a healthy lifestyle can help maintain the integrity of maksakudosta.
