16
Q

zones of portal acinus

A

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

19
Q

lysosomes

A

catabolism- internal structures (autophagy) and exteral structures (heterophagy)
low internal pH for lysozyme activity
40-50 enzymes present

20
Q

tay-sachs disease

A

aka sphingolipidosis

absense of beta-hexoaminidase A which degrases acididc fatty gangliosides

21
Q

metachromatic leukidystrophy

A

aka sulfatidosis

absence of aryisulfatase causes accumulation of sulfates cerbrosides

22
Q

type II glycogenosis

A

acid maltase absent

23
Q

rER and golgi

A
plasma proteins (albumin, prothrombin, fibrinogen)
secreted in small clear vesicles (not granules)
24
Q

VLDL

A

transport apoproteins for lipoproteins is synthesized in rER
requires sER as well
converted to chylomicrons (not in hepatocytes) requires LPL

25
Q

sER

A

synthesis of cholesterol and phospholipids
esterification of FFA to TGs
dehaloginase converts T4-> T3
biotransformation of drugs, metabolites, and xenobiotics
synthesis of cholic acid
conjugation w/glycine and taurine to from bile acids
Ca storage and release

26
Q

glycogen

A

polymeric storage of glucose -> glycogen rosettes
gluconeogenesis storage to periportal area
glucose to perivenous area
rosettes associate w/SER

27
Q

peroxisomes

A
aka microbodies
about 400/cell
membrane bound
purine catabolism produces uric acid
oxidizes substrates peroxisome biogenesis; can bud from existing peroxisome or from rER
28
Q

microtubules

A

vesicular transport

29
Q
