gastrohistology Flashcards
liver
2.5% body weight
glissons capsule- simple squamous epithelium from peritoneum
liver synthesizes
albumin, prothrombin, fibrinogen, a and b globulins, glucose, fatty acids, triglycerides, choslesterol, phospholipids, lipoproteins
venous flow
portal v -> interlobar v -> interlobular v -> distribuiting v (perilobular v) -> inlet veule -> sinusoids -> central v -> sublobular -> collecting v -> hepatic v -> IVC
arterial flow
interlobar a -> interlobular a -> distributing a -> inlet a -> sinusoids -> central a _> sublobular v -> collecting v -> hepatic v -> IVC
lymph vessel
derived from the space of Disse
conveyed by periportal tissue space of Mall
lobule
1x10^6 hepatocytes form a muralium radiate in polyhedron from central v bloos enters at periphery percolates via sinusoids leaves via central v bile travels counter current leavinga at periphery
hepatocytes
lifespan 150 days large cells, most mononuclear some binucleate most cells polyploid form a simple muralium: 2 cells thick in infants by 2 only 1 cell thick
3 surfaces of hepatocytes
sinusoidal
basolateral
canalicular (within basolateral)
sinusoids
10 um in diameter
space of disse 1-2 um where sinusoidal wall discontinuous w/ supporting reticular fibers
facilitates access of blood to hepatocytes
acellular gap
other sinusoids
kupffer cells endotheliual cells (non-fenestrated) fibroblasts lipocyts (Ito cell) hematopoetic cells during early fetal life
liver stoma
two overlapping CT trees: central vv, portal triad
sinusoids supported by reticular fibers, stroma altered by disease
liver lobule types
classic lobule -> based on endocrine nature
portal lobule -> based on exocrine nature
portal acinus -> based on metabolic zonation
classic lobule
polygonal in shape
portal canals at periphery and v in center
emphasizes endocrine function of gland (fibrinogen, albumin, glucose)
distinct CT capsule poorly developed in humans
portal lobule
triangular in shape
portal canal in center
central v at periperhal apex
exocrine function (bile)
portal acinus
rappaports lobule
portal tirads and CV lie at periphery, with long axis inbtwn
reflects gradient of metabolic activity
useful in describing hepatic regeneration, development of cirrhosis, centro-lobular necrosis
zones of portal acinus
1- periportal zone, receives blood w/highest concentration of nutrients and oxygen, last to die, first to regenerate
2- mid-region, intermediate quality
3- centrolobular zone, lowest nutrients and oxygen content, first cells to die in centrolobular necrosis
zonations
reflects differences in carbohydrate metabolism protein metabolism lipid metabolism drug metabolism
mitochondria
1000-2000/cell
half life 10.5 days
self replicating
oxidative phos, urea and TCA cycles, lipid ox
