A

Zone 1 - peri-triad susceptible to viral

Zone 3 - peri lobular is susceptible to ischemia and also toxins

218
Q

4 main jobs of the liver

A

proteins production - albumin, complement, coag factors

make bile and excrete bilirubin

metabolize drugs and toxins and hormones (estrogen/ testosterone)

storage - glycogen, cholesterol, fat soluble vitamins

219
Q

What is bilirubin?

A

the left over product when the globulin from blood gets degraded and the Fe is recycled you get 4 bilirubin molecules for each of the 4 globulin molecules

toxic and needs to be excreted, also insoluble-binds to albumin

220
Q

Direct vs indirect bilirubin?

A

Direct bilirubin is conjugated bilirubin that has a glucouronyl acid moiety on it placed by UDP glucouronyl transferase in the liver

Makes it polar and water soluble to be excreted. Measured w/ direct and a part of the total bilirubin
