English translation: peripheral acinar/ peripheral acinous

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
German term or phrase:acinoperipher
English translation:peripheral acinar/ peripheral acinous

Medical - Medical (general) / poison-related
German term or phrase: acinoperipher
Tiere, die ca. 2 Stunden ueberlebt hatten, wiesen acinoperipher anstelle der Leberbaelkchen regelrechte Blutseen auf, in denen mit unter noch Kern truemmer (sogar hemorrhagische Nekrosen ) lagen.

Basically I'm wondering what acino means. If I search for it, the most common result seems to be part of the name of a pharmaceutical company. Is it also possible it's spelled wrong? I'm doubtful but there have been other errors in this text and it was typed using a typewriter, so all the more reason to not yet rule it out as a possibility.
peripher = periphery

Please excuse me if this is an easy question. I'm relatively new to medical translations and don't want to make a silly mistake.

Thank you!

peripheral acinar/ peripheral acinous
Explanation:
Acinus - das beerenförmige Endstück von Drüsen mit großen Epithelzellen und enger Lichtung; z. B. der Lungen-, Leberazinus; ferner in der Bauspeichel-, Ohrspeichdrüse - siehe auch Azinus (acinus)
(Roche Lexikon Medizin)

azinös - beerenförmig; einen Azinus betreffend (aciniform)
(Roche)

acinous - resembling a grape 2. acinar

acinar - pertainining or affecting an acinus or acini

acinus - a general term used in anatomical nomiclature to designate a small saclike dilatation, particular one found in various glands.

liver acinus - a functional unit of the liver, smaller than a portal lobule, being a diamond-shaped mass of liver parenchyma that is supplied by a terminal branch of the portal vein and of the hepatic artery and drained by a terminal branch of the bile duct.
(Dorland's Illustrated Medical Dictionary)

z. B.:
The liver cells in the peripheral acinous zones are in most cases intact and often hypertrophied. These cells show evidence of regeneration, which is sometimes slight but usually well marked.

In practice, however, necrosis occurs in a portal–central distribution, and this corresponds to the most peripheral acinar regions (zone 3; Figure 1.7).

Here you have a description of Rappaport's acinus model:

So the "periphery" corresponds to zone 1 of the acinus.
