Glisson's capsule

Juvenile flukes penetrate the Glisson's capsule of the liver and continue migrating in the liver tissue.

Occasionally, this inflammation can cause scar tissue to form on Glisson's capsule, a thin layer of connective tissue surrounding the liver.

The bare area of the liver is still covered by Glisson's capsule, the fibrous capsule that sheathes the entire liver.

Glisson's capsule or Glisson's sheath is a collagenous capsule covering the external surface of the liver.

Right upper abdominal discomfort (location of liver) occurs in many liver diseases and this pain arises from stretching or irritation of Glisson's capsule, which is rich in nerve endings.

Between the two layers of the lesser omentum, close to the right free margin, are the hepatic artery, the common bile duct, the portal vein, lymphatics, and the hepatic plexus of nerves-all these structures being enclosed in a fibrous capsule (Glisson's capsule).
