Upon eating

CCK is released and gallbladder contracts, and sphincter opens to let bile flow out and help with digestion and absorption

31
Q

Under normal conditions, increased bile secretion increases the rate of return of bile acids to the liver. This return normally exerts a negative feedback control on synthesis specically inhibiting what major bile acid synthesis enzyme?

A

7alpha-hydroxylase

NOTE: Interuption of the enterohepatic circulation can cause a 10-fold increase in bile synthesis

32
Q

A

Cool

33
Q

What two substances are responsible for gibing stool its dark color?

A

Urobilin and Stercobilin

34
Q

Why is it that an ileal resection leads to decreased bile secretion?

A

We see less recycling of bile and more excretion of it. Excessive fecal loss of bile decreases the total pool of bile salt so even though bile synthesis is strongly stimulated, it cannot keep pace with the loss.

35
Q

What enzyme is responsible for converting unconjugated bilirubin to conjugated bilirubin?

A

UDP glucoronyl Transferase

UDP GT

36
Q

Which of the following decreases the amount of gastric secretion?

B. PNS stimulation

C. Chyme in the duodenum

D. Histamine

A

Chyme in the duodenum

37

Select all of the following syndromes where jaundice is seen due to amounts of unconjugated bilirubin and NOT conjugated bilirubin instead.

A. Gilbert’s Syndrome

B. Crigler-Najjar syndrome

C. Dubin Johnson syndrome

D. Rotor’s syndrome

E. Biliary tree obstruction

A

A. Gilbert’s Syndrome

B. Crigler-Najjar syndrome

NOTE: The rest are related to conjugated jaundice

38
Q

Why does hemolytic anemia lead to increase in amount of unconjugated bilirubin?

A

Destruction of RBCs causes increased bilirubin production, and the demand can put the livers ability to conjugate bilirubin at capacity, resulting in an increase of unconjugated bilirubin

39
