Q

features: bile canaliculi

A

located in btw hepatocytes

- drain into bile ductules, ductules merge with bile ducts in portal spaces

21
Q

features: bile flow and general

A

bile ductules -> bile ducts -> R,L hepatic duct-> cystic duct -> common bile duct -> duodenum

  • Herring canal: drain bile
    bile made in hepatocytes, collects into bile canaliculi -> stored/used in gall bladder
22
Q

cirrhosis: eg

A

liver regeneration relatively good, but damaged over extent causes cirrhosis

23
Q

features: gall bladder

A

pear shaped

  • fundus, body, neck
  • stores/ concentrates bile
  • inn: celiac plexus and vagus nerve
24
Q

bile used for: made up of?

A

water, electrolytes, bile acids, cholesterol, phospholipids, bilirubin

  • bile acids: vital for digestion and absorption of fats
  • waste products removed in bile (esp. cholesterol) converted to bile acids
  • most bile acid reabsorbed and reused
25
Q

system of ducts from liver to duodenum:

A

R, L hepatic duct -> common hepatic duct (liver) -> joins with cystic duct from gall bladder -> common bile duct -> joins with pancreatic duct = hepatopanceatic ampulla -> duodenum

26
Q

small intestine: function and parts

A
  • primary site of absorption (pylorus to ileocecal junction) - duodenum (c shaped)
  • jejunum
  • ileum
27
Q

small intestine: wall layers

A
  • 4 wall layers
  • plicae circulares: mucosa, submucosa folds (x3 SA)
  • vili: projections from mucosa (x10) capillaries, lacteals
  • microvili: plasma membrane projections (x20)
28
Q

mucosa: small intestine

A
  • intestinal glands, crypts of Lieberkühn
  • absorptive (tall col)
  • goblet (mucous)
  • enterendocrine (hormones)
  • M cells (microfold, modified absorptive, found over lymph nodes, carry antigens to MALT)
  • Paneth: antimicrobial lysosymes, base of intestinal glands
29
Q

submucosa: small intestine

A

duodenal Brunner’s glands: alkaline mucous to neutralise acidic chyme from stomach

  • MALT: prominent in small intestine- lymphocytes loose in lamina propria, and between epithelial cells
  • found in mucosa, submucosa (esp ileum)
  • Peyer’s patches create immune barrier
30
Q

small intestine: main blood supply

A
  • celiac trunk -> superior mesenteric artery
