The anatomy of the liver

This activity describes the anatomy of the liver

Your tasks: watch this short video in which Dr Patricia Lalor introduces the large-scale anatomy of the liver. Reflect on any new information or ideas and share your thoughts with other learners in the comments area.

We will look at the small scale or microscopic anatomy of the liver later this week.

Don’t forget that if you come across any words you are not sure about, you can add them to your glossary. You could also ask what they mean in the comments section, or check out internet sources of information that you trust. You can also help your fellow learners if you know the definition of a word they are struggling with.
