Glisson's capsule is the protective layer which is made of fibrous tissue that covers the liver completely.
Functions
- Holds the liver lobes together
- Protects from physical damage.
- Also ensheathes the important vessels - hepatic artery, portal vein, and bile ducts within the liver.
This capsule is further covered by the peritoneum, a membrane that forms the lining of the abdominal cavity.
