A human liver showing cirrhosis. The cause,as in half the cases of cirrhosis,is unknown,although the disease is associated with alcoholism,hepatitis & malaria. Cirrhosis is a chronic disease,in which the liver cells are progressively destroyed & replaced by fatty or fibrous strands of tissue (broad bands visible here). Between the fibrous tissue,islands of regenerating cells form into nodules,which gives the liver a knobby appearance. It also appears tawny,as is seen in this picture | |
