RESEARCH OVERVIEW
Abstract
This scientific paper presents current data on the anatomical structures of the liver as a unique organ performing over 500 vital functions. It examines the morphological features of liver lobes and segments, the vascular and biliary structure, the microarchitectural features of the liver lobules and sinusoidal system, and the functional and structural zones that play a key role in metabolism and detoxification. The paper emphasizes the clinical significance of liver anatomy in surgical interventions, transplantation, and disease diagnosis. It also discusses modern imaging techniques and their contribution to the accurate determination of pathological processes and anatomical variations in the liver.
