A

the duodenum

34
Q

What two ducts combine to form the common hepatic duct?

A

The R and L hepatic ducts

35
Q

What is the arterial supply of the gallbladder?

cystic artery

36
Q

What is the cystic artery a branch of?

A

proper hepatic artery

37
Q

What is the proper hepatic artery a branch of?

A

Common hepatic artery

38
Q

What is the common hepatic artery a branch of?

A

celiac trunk

39
Q

What is the celiac trunk a branch of?

A

abdominal aorta (at about the T12 vertebral level)

40
Q

What drains the gallbladder

A

the cystic vein into the hepatic portal vein

41
Q

What is the porta hepatis?

A

AKA hilium of the liver, region that has hepatic portal vein, hepatic artery proper, and common hepatic duct

42
Q

What is the path of the hepatic artery proper?

A

abdominal aorta to the celiac trunk to the common hepatic artery, to the hepatic artery proper

43
Q

What two veins come together to make the hepatic portal vein?

A

the splenic vein and the superior mesenteric vein

44
Q

Where do the splenic vein and the superior mesenteric vein combine to form the hepatic portal vein

A

behind the panccreas

45
Q

Where does the hepatic portal vein carry blood from?

A

small and large intestine, stomach, pancreas, gallbladder, and spleen

46
Q

What is a portal system?

A

a connection btw two capillary beds

47
Q

Where does nutrient rich blood from the stomach and intestine travel to?

A

the liver for processing

48
Q

what are the functional units at the liver?

A

lobules

49
Q

What are lobules?

A

functional units at the liver

50
Q

what is at the centre of each lobule?

A

central vein

51
Q

Where is the portal traid?

A

at the corner of the liver lobules

52
Q

What does the portal traid contain?

A

a small branch of the hepatic portal vein, a small branch of the hepatic artery proper, and a bile duct

53
Q

What happens as blood flows towards the centre vein?

A

liver cells absorb and secrete substances - altering the blood entering systemic circulation

54
Q

What do the central veins drain into

A

hepatic veins

55
Q

Where does blood go from the hepatic vein?

A

inferior vena cava

56
Q

What forms the common hepatic duct?

A

Left and right hepatic duct of the liver

57
Q

bile canaliculi

A

small projections in the liver that carry bile to the bile duct of the closest portal area

58
Q

What does the hepatic artery proper do?

A

deliver oxygenated blood to the liver

59
Q

What does the hepatic portal vein do?

A

carry deoxygenateed but nutrient rich blood from the digestive tract to the liver

60
Q

What does the common hepatic duct do?

A

carry the bile produced by the liver away to the gallbladder

61
Q

how does bile enter the gallbladder from the liver?

A
