102
Q

What is posthepatic jaundice?

A

*Something wrong with the bile drainage system

103
Q

What does chirrosis of the liver mean?

A

The functional liver parenchyma (made up of hepatocytes) has died of diseases and now made of connective tissue

104
Q

What does acute pancreatitis activate?

A

105
Q

What are the majority of pancreatic cells?

A

Exocrine
*going into a duct that is directed into a specific anatomical place

106
Q

What does the pancreas allow us to do?

A

Chemically breakdown and absorb all the food that we eat across the lining of the gut

107
Q

If there are problems with the gut what does that mean?

A

The duct has been occluded through infections, or inflammation
*Pancreatic juices cannot leaves therefore will turn against the pancreas itself ad digest it

108
Q

Are Lower or upper GI disorders more vulnerable to be inflammerd?

A

Lower

109
Q

What will a vial infection do to the gut?

A

Increase gut motility
