Q

Liver Microscopic Anatomy

A

HEPATOCYTES: Perform metabolic, synthetic, storage, catabolic and excretory functions. Apical surface of hepatocytes face bile canaliculi. Basolateral surface faces sinusoids.

KUPFFER CELLS: Macrophages, form the lining of sinusoids.. Protect against infection and circulating toxins (e.g., endotoxin), but with higher efficiency. Activated Kupffer cells also release cytokines, such as TNF-α, interleukins, interferons and TGFs α and β

STELLATE CELLS: (Ito cells) have specialized storage capacities. Contain fat, vitamin A and other lipid-soluble vitamins. Secrete extracellular matrix components, including collagens, laminin and proteoglycans. In disease states, can make in great excess, leading to hepatic fibrosis and eventually cirrhosis.

Intralobular duct: stratified cuboidal cells and thicken connective tissue
capsule

Intralobular duct: epithelium that could be simple columnar, stratified columnar, or stratified cuboidal and large CT

Interlobular ducts: epithelium (simple columnar cells, or stratified columnar, or stratified cuboidal) connective tissue

Q

Mastication (mechanism, regulation, and factors)

A

Mechanism: Food gets broken down via masseter, temporalis, medial pterygoid, and lateral pterygoid. Salivary glands secrete saliva that contains salivary amylase, mineral salts, and mucus. Tongue moves side to side pushing between teeth for extra grinding.

Factors: food in mouth, sight of food

Q

Deglutination (mechanism)

A

Mechanism: Starts with voluntary movement of the tongue pushing bolus to oropharynx then mechanoreceptors, thermoreceptors, and taste receptors in upper esophagus detect food -> sensory info via trigeminal, glossopharyngeal, and vagus nerve to the medulla -> motor info via vagus->
soft palate and uvula moves up -> epiglottis covers larynx -> upper esophageal sphincter relaxes-> upper esophageal sphincter closes-> vagus -> peristalsis -> lower esophageal sphincter relaxes

Q

Lipid digestion

A

Fatty acids form globule gets turned in the stomach -> bile salts from liver break up globule -> lipase in saliva, stomach, and pancreas break down into monoglycerides and free fatty acids -> assemble into mixed micelles -> travel to intestinal lumen to enterocytes -> release fatty acids in enterocytes-. resemble into triglycerides -> package into chylomicron (phospholipids, protein, triglyceride, cholesterol, Vit A, D, E,K) -> enters lacteal -> thoracic duct -> dumped into blood -> release fatty acids and monoglycerides into muscle, adipose

Q

Protein digestion

A

Protein reaches stomach-> HCl denatures protein, pepsin cleaves into oligopeptide chains -> move into duodenum where digestive enzyme from pancreas stimulated by CCK break them into tripeptides, dipeptides, and individual amino acids -> peptidases attach them to external surface -> intestine cells di & tri get converted into amino acids -> can be transported via specific transporter -> blood stream to tissues
