Fish Liver

The document summarizes information about the liver of a white perch specimen. It describes the white perch species and provides details about the size and color of the specimen. It then discusses the characteristics and functions of the fish liver, including nutrient processing, enzyme synthesis, and bile production. The liver contains special cell types like hepatocytes, biliary epithelial cells, and endothelial cells that help perform these functions. Hepatocytes make up 80% of the liver mass and are responsible for metabolism, detoxification, and protein synthesis. The document emphasizes that the various liver cell types and structures work together to keep the white perch healthy.

Special cells

Hepatocytes

Endothelial Cells
mass • Regulates exchange between

the bloodstream and tissue
detoxification, and protein
synthesis Biliary Epithelial Cells
• Modifies bile before it goes into
intestines
• Is in the biliary tract
How important is cell or structure in the body of
the fish?
The liver of the White Perch is very important for its survival. It does a lot
of jobs like storing nutrients, cleaning harmful things, and making
enzymes. Different types of cells, like hepatocytes, biliary epithelial cells,
and endothelial cells, help the liver do these jobs. Hepatocytes are the
main cells that do the work of changing things in the liver. Biliary
epithelial cells change bile before it goes to the intestines, and endothelial
cells help things move around. All of these cells working together is
important for the White Perch to stay healthy.
