A

descending colon

34
Q

muscular tube that readily expands to store accumulated fecal material prior to defecation

A

rectum

this condition occurs if excess water is left in the intestine

A

diarrhea

39
Q

occurs if too much water is reclaimed by the intestine

(2) gallbladder
(3) pancreas
(4) biliary apparatus

43
Q

what are functions of the liver?

A

(1) filters toxins from the blood
(2) breaks down old red blood cells
(3) produces bile

44
Q

where is the liver located?

A

in the right quadrant of the abdomen

45
Q

what are the left & right lobes of the liver separated by?

A

falciform ligament

46
Q

these lobes of the liver are considered subdivisions of the right lobe

50
Q

this organ arises from the inferior surface of the liver

A

gallbladder

51
Q

what is the function of the gallbladder?

A

stores & concentrates bile

52
Q

emulisfying agent for digestion of fats in small intestine

A

bile

53

biliary apparatus

54
Q

name the ducts associated with the biliary apparatus

A

jaundice

59
Q

what are different types of jaundice?

A

obstructive, hemolytic, physiologic

60
Q

bile ducts are obstructed by gall stones, so bile cannot drain out of liver and overflows into blood

62
Q

immature liver cannot excrete the bilirubin as quickly as it is being formed
