| Parallelism |
| Bile ducts to hepatic arteries |
92% ± 8% |
| Hepatic arteries to bile ducts |
96% ± 5% |
| Portal veins to bile ducts |
95% ± 6% |
| Portal veins to hepatic arteries |
93% ± 8% |
| Bile ducts to portal veins |
72% ± 17% |
| Hepatic arteries to portal veins |
72% ± 19% |
| Characteristics |
| Portal tracts without portal veins |
38% ± 19% |
| Portal tracts without bile ducts |
7% ± 6% |
| Portal tracts without hepatic arteries |
9% ± 7% |
|
| NOTE. The simultaneous occurrence of interlobular
bile ducts, hepatic arteries, and portal veins within portal tracts
is given on a percent basis, as defined in the text. The converse
also is shown, namely the percent of portal tracts lacking portal
veins, interlobular bile ducts, or hepatic arteries. |
