23
Q

Describe how the ileocecal valve works.

A

As the residue is leached into the LI, the cecum fills up and pulls on the ascending colon, closing off this valve, peristalsis moves feces towards anal canal.
Prevents it from going back to ileum

A

Branches off hepatic portal vein

39
Q

What does the hepatic portal system do?

A

Takes nutrients from digestive organs and shuttles them to the liver for processing.

40

Treated via drugs to dissolve stones or vapourizing them with a laser, or removal of the gallbladder.

51
Q

What does a fatty chyme signal?

A

Feedsback to cause release of bile.

52
Q
