Proposed Merger: fibrous capsule of Glisson to the article Human Liver

[edit]

I stumbled upon the small article fibrous capsule of Glisson while researching pelvic inflammatory disease. It is only referenced in one or two articles and has limited significance outside of this disease and for those interested in hepatic histology. It does link to several pages but this is only because it is included in the abdomen anatomy drop down box at the bottom of several pages. I also believe that fibrous capsule of Glisson is redirected for liver capsule when the two are separate entities that are continuous with each other. Anatomy texts that I have seen it referenced in so far and the TA & TH, designate the fibrous capsule of Glisson as the internal portion of the Liver Capsule that surrounds the portal triad and sinusoids. I suggest:

  1. Merging the article Human Liver to provide context for readers
  2. Adding an additional subsection to the Human Liver article for liver capsule to recognize it as a continuous but distinct entity
