Q

Slavery can secretion is affected by neuronal stimulus is explain how is affected

A

Parasympathetic: produces a large volume of watery saliva rich in enzymes
sympathetic: produces a small thick secretion of saliva re-rich in mucus

16
Q

Where does the deoxygenated blood from the liver come from

A

Other organs such as stomach which is a portal system, so will first capillary branch at the stomach, then travel via the portal vein to the liver where they will secondary branch

17
Q

At the end of the hepatic triad blood collects into the central canal, where does the blood go then

A

Central canal to hepatic vein to vena cava

18
Q

Hepatic triad come together at the end of hepatic lobules also known as

19
Q

Name the three components of the hepatic triad

A

Bile duct
portal vein
hepatic artery

20
Q

Describe the basement membrane in the sinusoid

A

Incomplete basement membrane, intracellular gaps

21
Q

Describe the structure of the liver lobule

A

Liver lobule hexagonal shape - six sides
central vein
hepatocyte do not form straight lines

22
Q

Describe the directions which the sinusoids and the bile duct moves fluids

A

Sinusoids needs fluid towards the central canal

Bartok meets fluids away from central canal

23
Q

Where are kupffer cells found

A

Sinusoids lumen

24
Q

What is the space of disse

A

Space between sinusoid and hepatocyte

25
Which surfers due hepatic cells have microvilli on
These basoateral surface Note hepatic cells have reversed apical and basal surface
26
What is the tube called which transports bile to the bile duct
bile canaliculus
27
Where do the bile canaliculus run in respect to hepatocytes
Above or below never through
28
Kupffer cells
Specialist macrophage | the trap and phagocytosis any damage or age you refer sites that were missed by the spleen
29
When the spleen is remove what role can the liver play and what cells and others to happen
kupffer cells intake over the removal of the hundred and 20 day old you refer sites
30
What roles do stellate cells play in liver fibrosis
Hepatic stellate cells lose their vitamin a storage ability and differentiate into Myofibroblasts. These synthesise and deposit collagen leading to liver fibrosis
31
Four functions of the liver
Storage anabolism- production catabolism- destruction other functions
32
Give some examples of liver storage functions
Iron vitamin a B12 D and K (lipid soluble vitamins) glycogen copper
33
Anabolism role of the liver
Makes more than 60% of bodies proteins major plasma protein- albumin enzymes haemopoeisis in the foetus from week 5 to 32
34
Catabolism role of the liver
Drugs hormones toxins After spleen removed can remove red blood cells
35
Give the exocrine and endocrine function of the liver
Bile production exocrine endocrine constitutive- albumin regulated IGF-1
36
How do you have pattern sites differ to other cells
Numerous mitochondria lots of paroxisomes - organelles full of oxidising agents numerous free ribosomes a lot of rough endoplasmic reticulum and smooth endoplasmic reticulum numerous golgi complexes glycogen deposits
37
Four different types of signalling
autocrine Paracrine intrcrine endocrine
