Question
The sinusoids of the liver contain blood from the hepatic veins, portal veins and hepatic arteries. blood from the portal venules and hepatic arterioles. Kupffer cells and bile ductules. the portal triads and Kupffer cells.
Solution
The sinusoids of the liver contain blood from the portal venules and hepatic arterioles. They also contain Kupffer cells, which are specialized macrophages located in the liver, but not bile ductules. The portal triads, which consist of a bile duct, a hepatic artery and a portal vein, are located at the corners of the liver lobules, not within the sinusoids. Therefore, the correct answer is: "blood from the portal venules and hepatic arterioles."
