Glisson described the portal trunk, its entry into the concave surface, and five ramifications from it through the parenchyma, not quite convinced that this represented a true “lobar” arrangement, however. He also established the capillary network connecting fine branches of the portal system with the hepatic venous system and, ultimately, the inferior vena cava (see [16], p 224).

The Dutch physician and anatomist Isbrand van Diemerbroeck (1609–1674) gave an interesting perspective of the liver in his authoritative text The Anatomy of Human Bodies, written in 1672 and published in English in 1694, in which he commented[T]he substance of the Liver in Man consists of little Lobes, which shew forth a heap of Clusters, and are cloath’d with their own enfolding membrane … That the whole Mass of the Liver consists of glandulous Balls and several Roots of Vessels; and hence, that they may all cooperate for the common good, there is a necessity of an intercourse between the Vessels and these Glandules [18].7
