• Each lobule in the liver is made up of millions of hepatic cells, which are the basic metabolic cells. 
• These lobules are held together by a fine, dense, irregular, fibroelastic connective tissue layer which extends from the fibrous capsule covering the entire liver known as Glisson's capsule.
•  Glisson's capsule forms a layer of connective tissue surrounding the liver and ensheathing the hepatic artery, portal vein, and bile ducts within the liver. Hence, Glisson's capsule is associated with the liver.

Liver is the largest gland of the body weighing about 1.2 to 1.5 kg in an adult human. It is situated in the abdominal cavity, just below the diaphragm and has two lobes. The hepatic lobules are the structural and functional units of liver containing hepatic cells arranged in the form of cords. Each lobule is covered by a thin connective tissue sheath called as the Glisson's capsule.

Kupffer cells, also known as Browicz-Kupffer cells are specialized macrophages located in the liver lining the walls of the sinusoids that form part of the reticuloendothelial system. 

• In vertebrates, the gallbladder is a small hollow organ where bile is stored and concentrated before it is released into the small intestine. 
• In humans, the pear-shaped gallbladder present on the right lobe of the liver that lies beneath the liver, although the structure and position of the gallbladder can vary significantly among animal species. Hence, Gallbladder is found in

Kupffer cells are specialized macrophages located in the liver lining the walls of the sinusoids, that form part of the reticuloendothelial system.

Liver is the largest gland of human body. Liver sinusoids are lined by the endothelial cells mostly but a few macrophages cells are also present. These are called as Kupffer's cells (phagocytic cells).

The liver is the largest gland of the body weighing about 1.2 to 1.5 kg in an adult human. It is situated in the right upper corner of the abdominal cavity, just below the diaphragm and has two lobes. The hepatic lobules are the structural and functional units of liver containing hepatic cells arranged in the form of cords. Hence, the liver is situated in the upper part of the abdomen on the right side.
So, the correct option is 'right side'.

The liver is the largest glandular organ in the body and performs multiple critical functions to keep the body pure of toxins and harmful substances. An average adult liver weighs about three pounds. Located in the upper-right portion of the abdominal cavity under the diaphragm and to the right of the stomach, the liver consists of four lobes. It receives about 1.5 quarts of blood every minute via the hepatic artery and portal vein. 

The rabbit's liver is divided in left and right regions by a deep cleft with the right and left lobes further divided into anterior and posterior lobules. The left lobes are left lateral, left central and a spigelian lobe. The right lobes are right central and caudate lobe.
