The structural organization of the liver in the Chinese fire-bellied newt (Cynopsorientalis). Int. J. Morphol., 29(4):1317-1320, 2011.SUMMARY: The morphology of Chinese fire-bellied newt liver consists of 5 lobes, with exception of a few individual differencespresent, which are composed by a number of hepatic lobules. Passing through the center of the lobules, a central vein radiates and isarranged in orderly row from one to several layers. The interval of the hepatic cords or masses are irregular and variable sinu soid. Thehepatic sinusoidal wall consists of one layer endothelial cells or Macrophagocytus stellatus (Kupffer cells), which have protrusions andelongations. The intervals of the hepatic cells have perisinusoidal space (space of Disse). The hepatic cell is polygonal in shape withuniform, round or oval nucleus, 17.8–12.4µm in diameter, mean 14.2 µm 2-6 nucleoli, nuclear-cytoplasmic volume ratio was 0.24:1.There is a lot of pigmentation in the hepatic parenchyma.KEY WORDS: Cynops orientalis; Liver; Histology; Morphology.
