complex syndrome produced by disruption of insulin signaling, dysregulation of lipid and glucoes levels and serious pathology

A

Diabetes mellitus

32
Q

the largest gland, involved in regulating blood composition

A

Liver

33
Q

Synthesis in the liver

A

blood proteins: albumin, transferrin, fibrinogen, prothrombin, angiotensinogen, etc. (endocrine activity);;
lipids and lipoporteins: cholesteerol, fatty acids, LDL, VLDL

34
Q

Storage in the liver

A

glucose as glycogen
lipids as fat droplets
vitamins, fat soluble

35
Q

Liver modificaation reactions

A

oxidation and reducation by cytochrom p450 in SER
Conjugaton with glucuronic acid sulfate; methylation (Bilirubin to glucuronide and secreted into bile)
several kinds of hormones turned over

36
Q

Liver elimination reactions:

A

release products back into the blood (leave via urine)

release products into bile, e.g. bilirubin (leave via intestines)

37
Q

Lipid digestion:

A

bile salts are detergents that emulsify fats and facilitate lipase action (exocrine activity)

38
Q

describe the general microstructure of the liver:

A

Portal triad: the hepatic artery, the portal vein, and the bile duct are surrounded by connective tissue, and the blood from the portal vein are sent down very porous sinusoids (capilaries) to the terminal hepatic venule (central vein). as the blood goes down it goes past plates of hepatocytes that are creating bile and pushing it back the other way to the bile ducts.

39
Q

what is a kupffer cell?

A

a macrophage resident in the liver to act on any pathogens coming from the GI system

40
Q

the liver Acinus model describes 3 zones, what changes as you move from zone to zone what are the zones and what do they do?

A

these are the zones through the hepatic sinusoid where zone 1 has freshest blood, biggest mitochondria, most active glucuronidation, most active endocytosis, most lysosomes (metal deposits) highest regenerative activity!.
Zone three you do the oxidation/reduciton reactions (most P450), and Fat deposited here most
Zone 2 is intermediate!

41
Q

why would the acinus model of the liver be useful for clinician

A

gives an ability to classify damage by location and guesse what type of damage is taking place and what might be the progression of the disease

42
Q

the histology of the liver

A

Portal triad surrounded by alot of hepatocyts, and then an associated terminal hepatic vein, but no nice structure!

43
Q

how do we prevent bile from leaking into the liver and damaging hepatocytes?

A

terminal bars around the cells of the bile duct create tight junctions!

44
Q

how can we identify bile duct/ hepatic artery/ and portal vein

A

BD: terminal bars around a lumen (light cells)
HA: muscular smooth muscle cells surrounding a lumen
Pv: the squished snake lumen with association of the other two

45
Q

how can we identify the hepatic venule?

A

a large lumen with no other associated vein or artery or ducts

46
Q

describe the structure of the hepatocytes

A

they have tight junctions supported by desmosomes, with bile ducts between the cells, below they have microvilli, then space of disse and then the endothelium with lots of pores between to allow lots of exchange

47
Q

what is the space between the hepatocytes where blood flows?

A

sinusoids

48
Q

the opening between hepatic cells that carry bile

A

bile canaliculus

49
Q

the cells the can acutally cull the blood cells if the spleen is removed

A

Kepffer cells

50
Q

Store fat and fat soluble vitamins (like A and retinol)

A

Hepatic stellate cells, lipocytes, fat cells, cells of Ito, Vitamin A cells, interstitual cells

51
Q

where are the hepatic stellate cells?

A

in the space of Disse

52
Q

what happens if you have liver damage to the hepatic stellate cells?

A

they can transform into myofibroblasts and synthesize collagen after liver damage

53
Q

what could contribute to fibrosis of the liver (cellular component)

A

hepatic stellate cells synthesizing too much collagen and other extracellular molecules

54
Q

what could lead to portal hypoertension (cellular component)

A

Hepatic stellate cells as myofibroblasts express smooth muscle actin and can contract!

55
Q

what could lead to dysregulation of retinol metabolism

A

reductinon in lipid storage in hepatic stellate cells

56
Q

looks like little black dots inbetween hepatic cells

A

bile canaliculi

57
Q

what does the gall bladder epithelium do?

A

sodium and water recovery, and bile concentration.

basolateral Na,K-ATPase to do this

58
Q

bile is recyled in this type of recirculation

A

interohepatic recirculation

59
Q

what else would follow the enterohepatic recirculation besides bile?

A

anything that has affinity for both fat and water

60
Q

stimulates bile flow and induces contracaion of gall bladder, and relax the hepatopancreatic sphincter in the duodenum

A

CCK

61
Q

causes bile ducts to secrete bicarbonate into bile

A

secretin

62
Q

gall bladder inflammation

A

cholecystitis

63
Q

inflammation of the liver

A

hepatits

64
Q

prolonged serious inflammation, destruction of hepatocytes, and activation of myofibroblasts from stellate cells lead to excess collagen and this is called:

A

fibrosis

65
Q

extensive fibrosis and disorganized regeneration leads to general dysfunction

A

cirrhosis

66
Q

what happens in cirrhosis

A

blood flow decreases, impairing addition and removal of blood components
lack of flow produces portal hypertenstion, backpressure in venous system and asites (fluid in abdomen etc.)

67
Q

blockage of bile flow:

A

cholestasis

68
Q

what is cholestais do?

A

bile is a detergent that can dissolve cells, leading to serious liver damage

69
Q

what if bile leaks into the blood?

A

yellow the skin etc. to create jaundice

70
Q

what are some special functions of duodenum?

A

absorptive colomnar cells;
Enteroendocrine (DNES) cells;
Brunner’s Glands;

71
Q

what do the absorptive columnar cells in duodenum do?

A

enterocytes produce enterokinase, which activates trypsinogen
and secrete HCO3- to protect agains acid coming form the stomach

72
Q

what do the DNES cells make?

A

secretin and CCK

73
Q

what about brunners glands?

A

found in the sumbucosa of duodenum, produce mucus to protect the duodenum surface.

74
Q

Secretion onto a free surface (usually, but not always via a duct)

A

Exocrine

75
Q

Types of glands that can be associated with a duct

A

simple tubular or acinar;
branched acinar
compound tubular or acinar
compound tubuloacinar gland
