Abstract

The liver is the human body largest digestive and metabolic organ, and a very important immune organ. This paper discusses the location and morphology of hepatic sinusoidal endothelial cells, dendritic cells, hepatic stellate cells, and Kupffer cells in the liver and their role in regulating immune functions. Therefore, here we provide a preliminary understanding of the immune regulatory function of liver cells, and information on the occurrence and treatment of liver diseases.
