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 |

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. |
