$The humpback whale is a species of baleen whale. It is one of the larger rorqual species, with adults ranging in length from 14–17 m and weighing up to 40 metric tons. The humpback has a distinctive body shape, with long pectoral fins and a knobbly head. Humpback whales live in all oceans around the world. They travel great distances every year and have one of the longest migrations of any mammal on the planet. Some populations swim 5,000 miles from tropical breeding grounds to colder, more productive feeding grounds. Humpback whales feed on shrimp-like crustaceans (krill) and small fish, straining huge volumes of ocean water through their baleen plates, which act like a sieve.\n\nThe humpback whale gets its common name from the distinctive hump on its back. Its long pectoral fins inspired its scientific name, Megaptera, which means “big-winged” and novaeangliae, which means “New England,” in reference to the location where European whalers first encountered them. Humpback whales are a favorite of whale watchers―they are often active, jumping out of the water and slapping the surface with their pectoral fins or tails.$

The normal liver cells or hepatocytes contain lipid droplets, more frequent near the central vein of hepatic lobules, that can be demonstrated using osmium tetroxide as fixative. In steatosis or fatty liver disease, the amount of lipid droplets is pathologically very increased.
