Q

Where is the main site of unconjugated bilirubin production?

A

Spleen. Unconjugated bilirubin (aka indirect bilirubin) travels from the bloodstream into the liver. This form is not water soluble. Conjugated bilirubin (aka direct bilirubin) is converted in the liver from unconjugated bilirubin. This water soluble molecule turns into bile when it enters into the small intestines.

30
What artery supplies the stomach?
The celiac via the L and R gastric arteries
31
The greater curvature of the stomach is supplied by which arteries?
R and L gastroepiploic arteries
32
The lesser curvature of the stomach is supplied by which arteries?

What vein drains the stomach?
The gastric vein, which drains into the portal vein
