Hepatocytes, the main functional cells of the liver, typically do not contain centrioles. These cells are generally classified as non-dividing, or quiescent, and thus have a reduced need for centrioles, which are primarily involved in cell division and the organization of the mitotic spindle. While some studies may report the presence of centrioles in liver cells under certain conditions, they are not a standard feature of hepatocytes.
