R/L hepatic to common hepatic duct, branches to cystic duct (gallbladder) and common bile duct
Common bile duct joins main pancreatic duct at Vater ampulla

28
Q

Liver - 4/5 major components

A

Hepatocytes - secrete bile, transport and emulsify fat
Bile canaliculi - small bile capillaries, lead to bile ducts
Hepatic sinusoids - Hepatic artery, hepatic portal vein

29
Q

Functions of liver - 8

A

Produce bile, emulsify and transport fat, lacteals

30
Q

Bile - pH, pigment, tasks, stored

A

pH is basic
pigment is bilirubin, breakdown of RBC
