Solution
The correct option is A Hepatic lobules
Liver is the largest gland of the body. Each lobe of the liver is made up of tiny lobules (small divisions of the liver) which are considered as the functional units of the liver. Each hepatic lobule is made up of millions of hepatic cells, the basic metabolic cells.
Glisson's capsule is a thin connective tissue sheath covering each hepatic lobule.
Gallbladder is a small pouch situated below the liver. It stores bile secreted by the hepatic cells.
Acini are the rounded lobules in pancreas and salivary glands. The acinar cells in pancreas secrete an alkaline pancreatic juice with pH 8.4.
