maksasolulla

Maksasolulla refers to a cell within the liver. The liver is a vital organ located in the upper right quadrant of the abdomen, responsible for a multitude of metabolic and regulatory functions. Maksasolulla, also known as a hepatocyte, constitutes the parenchymal cells of the liver and is the most abundant cell type. These cells are highly specialized and play a crucial role in synthesizing proteins such as albumin and clotting factors, producing bile to aid in digestion, metabolizing carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, detoxifying the blood, and storing glycogen and vitamins.

Hepatocytes are large cells with one or more nuclei and abundant cytoplasm containing numerous organelles, including mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus, reflecting their high metabolic activity. Their arrangement within the liver lobules, along with other cell types like Kupffer cells and stellate cells, facilitates efficient processing of blood flowing from the portal vein and hepatic artery. The health and proper functioning of maksasolulla are essential for overall bodily homeostasis. Damage or dysfunction of these cells can lead to various liver diseases, including hepatitis, cirrhosis, and liver cancer.
