52

53
Enteroendocrine Cells
secrete chemical messengers; histamin, serotonin and gastrin

59
Hepatocytes
produce bile
60
Bile is NOT...
an enzyme; it is an emusifer (such as fats)
61
Blood Flow through the Liver
celiac trunk to haptic artery to portal arteriole mesenteric veins to hepatic portal vein to portal vein both of these converge to liver sinusoids to central vein to haptic vein to inf vena cava
62
Flow of Bile
hepatocytes to bile canaliculi to bile duct of triad to R and L hepatic ducts to common haptic duct to bile duct to hepatopancreatic ampulla to duodenum
63
Composition of Bile
bile salts (emulsify fats adnd conserved/recycled); bile pigment (primary bilirubin); cholesterol; triglycerides; phospholipids; electrolytes
64
Hepatitis
inflammation of the liver due to toxic effects of alcohol, grugs or viruses; HVA and HVE trasminted enterically (consumed) and self limiting (cures itself); HVB and HVC transmitted blood; linked to chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis and cancer
65
NAFLD (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease)
usually no symptoms; most common in N america; linked to insulin resistance
66
cirrhosis
late stage fibrosis of the liver; usually results from chronic hepatitis due to alcoholism, NAFLD or viral hepatitis
67
Gall Bladder
thin walled muscular sac; stores and concentrates bile; released bile into bile ducts via cytic duct
68
Gallstones
cholesterol crystalized and creates lil balls; can clog ducts; removed best by ultrasounds
69
Jaundice
piled up pigments
70
Pancreas
mostly retroperitoneal; has endocrine and exocrine functions; endocrine portion (islets) produces insulin and glucagon; exocrine portion acinar cells produce enzymes and duct cells produce h2o and HCO3

86
Segmentation
pattern of motility after a meal; mixes chyme with bile, pancreatic and intestinal juices
87

pattern of motility between meals; initated by motilin (hormone porduced by duodenal mucosa during fasting); peristaltic waves move last remnants of meal and bacteria into large intestine
88

95

mucosa is simple columnar epithelium (except anal canal which is stratified squamous); lacks circular folds, villi and microvilli; large number of goblet cells

Gut Bacteria
ferment some indigestible carbohydrates (lactose); synthezise (some) B complex vitamins and vitamin K
97

98

102
