HE 33-34 Liver Gall Bladder Pancreas Flashcards
Glissons Capsule (what and where, and surrounding lining)
Dense Irregular Connective Tissue
Over entire surface of liver except porta hepatis
-porta hepatis structures course between layers of hepatic duodenal ligament
Visceral peritoneum covers glissons capsul except at bare end
Septa of liver structure and components
connective tissue stroma- continuous with glissons capsule.
- contains BV’s bile ducts, nerves, lymph vessels
- reticular fibers are major support unit for heptic sinusoids
- pigs;well defined septa, separate lobules
- humans; hard to delineate, and hepatic sinusoids are continuous from one lobule to the next
parenchyma and stroma of liver
parenchyma: epithelial derived hepatocytes
stroma: CT support tissue (different from septa how?)
Portal Triad definition and location
portal triad present gross and microscopic
Portain Vien Hepatic Artery Bile Duct
Portal area/portal canal contains microscopic of all three (at edge of hexagon lobule)-blood drains to central vein
periportal space of mall???
Triad a misnomer since lymph vessels present as well
Hepatocytes origin and structure
Derived from endoderm
25% binucleate, some are polyploidy (more than two sets homologous chromosomes)
cube shape, with two sinusoidal ends and four lateral domains
20-30uM
MANY organelles
Three classifications of liver lobules
Classic, acinus of rapport, portal lobe
Classic lobule
central vein at center
hexagon
six portal areas in periphery
blood drains to center
bile drains to periphery
separated by septa
Hepatic acinus of Rapport
distributing arterioles at center
diamond or oval shaped
two central veins
two portal areas in periphery
easily displays zones of oxygenation 1-2-3
Portal Lobule
Portal area at center
triangle shaped
three central veins in periphery
bile drains to center
blood drains to periphery
hepatocyte function based on location:
perivenous hepatocytes: in region of central vein (low oxygen)
LOTS of SER but no MITO (bio pathways requiring less atp) ie glycolysis, chol synthesis, FA syth, drug met)
periportal hepatocytes: in region of portal area (high oxygen)
High GA, RER (pathways requiring ATP)- protein synthesis, AA catabolism, gluconeogenesis, urea cycle)
centralobular necrosis
as might occur with congestive heart failure
-or other causes of hyperfusion and hypoxia
alcohol or drug induced hepatitis also causes centrilobular necrosis
viral hepatitis causes necrosis THROUGHOUT liver lobule
Hepatic sinusoidal Capillaries
Sinusoidal caps (spleen and liver)
endothelial lining of hep, sinusoids
- cells have gaps between them with no BL
- clusters of fenestrae present known as SIEVE PLATES
Hepatocyte plate patterns
1 cell thick in adults
2 cells thick in children
hepatic sinusoids separate plates
blood drains from portal areas to central vein
hepatic sinusoids derived from vitelline veins
Sinusoids lumen to hepatocyte: layers and cell types
Kupffer cells within lumen are macrophages derived from monocytes. Form part of sinusoid lining, unique to hepatic sinusoids
Endothelial layer.
Space of Disse: Separates sinusoidal lining cells from hepatocytes
- drains into lymph vessels at portal area
- microvilli of the hepatocytes
- intermediary space between blood and hepatocyte
- contains ITO cells
ito cell
- Hepatic stellate cell
- store fat and vitamin H
- located within perisinusoidal space
Lateral domains, including cell types and clinical correlation
Contain Bile canaliculi
-create hepatic ducts
cholangiocytes:epithelial cells of biliary system
-have microvilli and long primary cilium
-cholangiocarcinoma-cancer in biliary system
intrahepatic bile duct???
