At the 7th day termination and liver taking wasdone. Then the observation of hispatology description was done .Result : The highest degenaration of cell of liver was in P3. The Kruskal Wallistest showed significant difference (p=0,000). The Mann Whitney test showedsignificant difference to K-P1(p=0,008), K-P2(p=0,008), K-P3(p=0,008), P1-P2(p=0,009), P1-P3(p=0,009), P2-P3(0,009).Conclusion : Giving monocrotophos by level orally to Balb/c mouse causedamage to the cell of liver as parenchymatous degeneration, hydropicdegenaration and necrosis
