Liver: sinusoids
Sinusoids are discontinuous capillaries that separate plates of hepatocytes. Kupffer cells, spanning the lumen of these sinusoids, are a type of macrophage that phagocytose aging red blood cells and other debris in the sinusoidal lumen. Like other macrophages, their cytoplasm contains large numbers of lysosomes and often appears vacuolated and lacy. 1000x
