16
Q

Triad of vessels at corner of each lobule

A
  1. INTERlobular artery (carries O2 blood into the cells)
  2. INTERlobular portal vein (carries DeO2 blood from hepatic portal vein into liver to be processed then out the hepatic vein to the IVC for O2 again)
  3. INTERlobular bile duct

Q

T/F
The veins from the triad each radiate toward or from the central INTRAlobular vein

18
Q

How much blood enters each lobule of the liver from the hepatic artery?

19
Q

How much blood enters each lobule of the liver from the hepatic portal vein?

20
Q

How does the blood travel from the hepatic portal vein and INTERlobular portal veins to the central INTRAlobular vein

A

Sinusoids
(Sinusoids have kupffer cells that are phagocytic and remove bacteria)

21
Q

How is bile formed?

A

By hepatic cells

22
Q

-pear shaped sac
-7-10cm long
-3cm wide
-holds 30-50mL of bile
-lies on undersurface of liver

A

Gallbladder

23
Q

What are the structures of the gallbladder?

A

Serous, muscular and mucous layers make up the gallbladder wall
Mucosal lining has rugae, similar to stomach

24
Q

What are the functions of the gallbladder?

A

-storage of bile
-concentration of bile (5-10 times)
-ejection of the concentrated bile into the duodenum to get excreted in the feces
-aids in digestion

25
Q

Obstruction of the bile flow into the duodenum and is therefore not excreted but absorbed into blood and body tissues giving the patient a yellowish skin colour

A

Jaundice
*obstruction of billary tract (bile flow)

26
Q

Inflammation of the gallbladder

A

Cholecystitis

27
Q

Formation of gall stones

A

Cholelithiasis

28
Q

Surgical removal of gallbladder

A

Cholecystectomy

29
Q

-grayish pink gland
-12-15cm long
-approx. 60g
-runs from duodenum (head), behind stomach (body), to spleen (tail)

30
Q

What part of the pancreas is intraperitoneal?

A

Tail (spleen end)

31
Q

T/F
The pancreas is dual gland composed of endocrine and expcrine glandular tissue

32
Q

T/F
The body of the pancreas runs across the aorta and IVC

33
Q

-the majority of the pancreas
-has compound acinar arrangement (secrete enzymes into tiny ducts that unite to form the main pancreatic duct

A

Exocrine portion
(Into ducts)

34
Q

What is the function of the exocrine portion of the pancreas?

A

Secrete enzymes into tiny ducts that unite to form the main pancreatic duct, which empties into the duodenum at the major duodenal papilla after merging with the common bile duct

35
Q

Where does the accessory duct from the pancreatic duct enter?

A

Enters the duodenum 2cm above the major duodenal papilla at the minor duodenal papilla

36
Q

-embedded between exocrine units are pancreatic islets (endocrine cells)
-constitutes only 2% of the total mass of pancreas

A

Endocrine portion

37
Q

What are the islets of the endocrine portion of the pancreas made up of?

A

Alpha and beta cells that secrete directly into capillaries in the blood stream

38
Q

What do the alpha cell secrete?

A

Glucagon (hormone that raises blood glucose levels, acts opposite to insulin)

39
Q

What do the beta cells secrete?

A

Insulin (a hormone that controls carbohydrate metabolism)
