intrahepatic
Inside the liver
Intrahepatic means situated or occurring within the liver.
The term appears almost exclusively in medical contexts, describing conditions, structures, or procedures involving the liver's interior.
Intrahepatic bile ducts carry bile within the liver itself, as opposed to extrahepatic ducts that carry it outside.
