257
Q

Q

What are the main features of the Liver?

A

Hepatic = Liver
1. Metabolic Function (metabolises/digests)
2. Bile production
-4x lobes
-Dark red due to dual vascular blood supply
Hepatic artery is connected to the Coeliac artery
Endocrine and Exocrine
Endo crine = produces hormone
Exocrine = secretes bile/ bile = excretory products. The bile salts in the bile help digest and absorb the fats and vitamins via emulsification
Humans- have a gallbladder which stores the bile before discharging into the duodenum
-Rats = no gallbladder
Liver secretes into the Common heaptic duct

262
Q

Coeliac artery

265
Q

What is the coeliac artery also connected to?

A

Hepatic artery

266
Q

What organ in the body is both endocrine and exocrine?

A

the liver
Endo crine = makes hormones
Exocrine= secretes bile= biles - excretory products. ITs bile salts help to digest and absorb fats and vitamins through emulsification

267
Q

What does it mean by the liver is endocrine?

A

It secretes hormones

268
Q

What does it mea by the liver is exocrine?

A

Secretes Bile
Bile =excretory products
The Bile salts in bile allow for digestion and absorption of fats and vitamins via Emulsification

269
Q

What is another name for excretory products?

270
Q

Does a rat have a gall bladder?

A

No
the rat DOESNT have a GBgallbladder, so it doesnt have anything to store its bile before it is discharged into the small intestine
Liver –> Gallbladder is call the Cystic Duct
Liver –> Common hepatic duct –> Common bile duct (=Pancreatic duct) —> Cystic duct –> Galbladder —> Duodenum of small intestinte

271
Q

What is the function of the Gall bladder BG which is in humans only?

A

GB stores Bile
before the bile is discharged into the small intestine- bile has to get out therefore MUST go through the small intestinte

272
Q

Where is the bile stored in the human GB gall bladder discharged into?

A

GB discharges Bile into the Small intestine as it must Get out of the body! :)

273
Q

Where does emulsification occur (of fats and vitamins)?

274
Q

how many lobes is the liver made out of?

275
Q

where does the Liver secrete into?

A

Common HEPATIC (liver)duct

276
Q

Where oes the Pancreas secrete directly into?

A

Pancreatic duct

277
Q

What does the Common Hepatic duct (which the liver secretes into) and the Pancreatic duct (which the pancreas secretes in) come together to form?

A

The common BILE duct

—> goes to gallbladder via the CYSTIC duct—> and then to the Duodenum of the small intestine

278
Q

What forms the common bile duct?

A

Common haptic duct(from liver)
+
Pancreatic duct (from pancreas)

279
Q

What is the location of the Pnacreas?

A

Under the great curvature of the kidneys
(near the spleen)
Feather shaped in rat, Scattered pink lobules, supported by mesentery
Fether shaped mesentry covered pancreas is MORE DIFFUSE in rats than in humans.
Is medial and closer to the duodenum

280
Q

What is the shape of the pancreas in rats?

A

Festher shapped
Scattered pink lobules supported by mesentry
MORE DIFFUSE in rats than human

281
Q

What is more diffuse in rats than in humans?

A

The pancreas

282
Q

What is the spleen close to under the great curvature of the stomach?

A

Feather shaped scattered pink lobuled mesentery supported pancreas, more diffuse in rats, and is found more medial, towards the stomach

283
Q

What are the scattered pink lobules of the pancreas resembling?

A

Grain like deposits of fat

284
Q

Where are their visible grain like deposits of fat?

A

The scattered pink lobules of the Pancreas

-represent the grain like deposits of fat - white but with the thin covering looks pink outside

285
Q

A

LAP
Lipases
Amalayses
Proteinases

286
Q

What does the anogram LAP dtand for and originate fro?

A

Pancreas
The 3x ALKALINE pancreatic juices secretes by the Pancreas
-enzymes for digstion

287
Q

Are pancreate juices of LAP Lipases, Amalyases and Proteinases Acidic or ALkaline?

A

aLkaline like the L in LAP

288
Q

Are the pancreatic juices enzyme containing?

A

Yes te aLkalin pancreatic juices provide enzymes such as LAP Lipases, Amalyses and Proteinases, allowing for the digestion

289
Q

What 2x hormones does the exocrine and endocrine gland of the pancreas secrete?

A

A

GI Glycagon and Insuline

292
Q

What does GI stand for?

A
