GI Accessory Organs Flashcards
parenchyma of liver structure
organized plates of hepatocytes separated by sinusoidal capillaries
Glisson’s capsule
fibrous CT
porta hepatis components
hepatic portal vein
hepatic portal artery
common bile duct
stroma components
glisson's capsule porta hepatis sinusoids perisinusoidal space (space of disse) nerves/lymphatic ducts
portal triad epis
vein - simple squamous
artery - simple squamous
bile duct - simple cuboidal
liver blood flow
portal vein (75%) + hepatic artery (25%) hepatic sinusoids central vein sublobular vein hepatic vein (IVC)
kinds of liver lobules
classic
portal
liver acinus
classic lobe
central vein in middle surrounded w/ 6 portal canals
portal lobule
portal canal in middle
surrounded by 3 central veins
liver acinus
2 central veins on either end
2 portal canals on top/bottom
liver acinus layers
- closest to portal canals
- next
- . closest to central veins
liver acinus layer characteristics
- first to get O2, nutrients, toxins, first to repair
- next
- last to get O2, nutrients, toxins, last to repair
hepatocyte characteristics
tight jxns between 2 layers face sinusoids 4 face canaliculi can be binucleate exocrine/endocrine fxn
peroxisome fxn in hepatocytes
detox
use catalase, dehydrogenase
sER fxn in hepatocytes
degradation
conjugation
synth CHL, lipid part of lipoproteins
golgi inclusion body fxn in hepatocytes
there are a lot of products that need to be packaged to be sent out
lysosome fxn in hepatocytes
store iron
indicate disease – #s go up w/ bile stasis or hep
important hepatocyte organelles
lysosomes
peroxisomes
sER
golgi
liver fxns
make plasma proteins store A, D, K, iron convert D3 into 25-hydroxy... metabolize CHO and lipids make/convert nonessential AAs synthesize urea endocrine (thyroxine, GH, insulin, glucagon -- activates) drug/toxin degradation
plasma proteins liver makes
albumins alpha/beta globulins lipoproteins glycoproteins prothrombin/fibrinogen (clotting factors)
liver detox steps
lipid soluble
phase I
phase II
excretion
phase I of liver detox
oxidation reduction hydrolysis hydration (maybe) cytochrome P450 is important
phase II of liver detox
done in sER conjugation sulfation acetylation (end = water soluble)
