Abstract
The current investigation was concerned with the different hepatic cells of the liver of the young domesticated pig. This work was carried out on fresh hepatic specimens from six healthy young pigs that were gathered immediately after their slaughter at the Abdelkader abattoir, Alexandria, Egypt. In our histological results, the liver had different cells including the hepatocytes and non-parenchymal cells including, the Kupffer cells and Ito cells. The hepatocytes had a large round cell nucleus with a prominent nucleolus. The intracellular lipid droplets allowed for the identification of ito cells and were found in the perisinusoidal space. By TEM observations, Kupffer cells had an irregular nucleus with a condensed type of chromatin. Ito cells had a large flat nucleus and large fat droplets, while their cytoplasm had a rough endoplasmic reticulum intermixed with mitochondria.
