liver and gallbladder Flashcards
largest visceral organ in body
liver
largest organ
skin
location of liver
right hypochondrium extding to left hypocho
functions of liver
chief site of intermediary metablism, secretes bile, syntehsize serum proteins and lipids, processes endogenous and exogenous substances, participates in elimantion of senescent cells and particulate matter, fetal life hematopoiesis
bile does what
emulsifies fat into miceles (cause fat insoluble in water)
if liver cant produce bile or backed up by gall stone you could get
fatty stool/greasy diarreha
greasy diarehea aka
setatorrhea
serum proteins include
albumin (maintins osmotic pressure in blood) fibrinogen (blood clot) aminoglobun
senescent cells
aging cells
what cells line liver sinusoids and engulf stuff
von kuffer cells
hematopoiesis
formation of blood
how palpate liver
put finger under right costal margin and ask patient to inhale and then u acn feel inferior edge of liver
surfaces of liver
diapragmatic (subphrenic and hepatorenal) and visceral
visceral surface is covered by ( ) except in the ( ) and ( )
visceral peritoneum, except fossa for GB and porta hepatis
porta hepatis is related to
r anterior part of stomach, superior part of duodenum, lesser omentum, gallbladder, r colic flexure, r transverse colon, r suprarenal gland and kidney
structually caudate and quadrate apart of
right lobe
functionally caudate and quadrate part of
left lobe
what goes through porta hepatis (hilum)
r/l hepatic arteries, r/l hepatic ducts, portain vein, sp and ps nerve fibers, lymphatics
what is between quadrate and right lobe of liver
fossa of gallbladder
caudate looks
elongated and superiorly
quadrate looks
like a cube and inferiorly
why functionally with left lobe
same blood supply, venous drainalge and and bile drainage (left hepatic duct)
falciform ligament
wide membranous lig that extends from diapraghm to umbilicus,
what serves as devercation between right and left lobe
falciform lig
where do you find the hilum/porta hepatis
Posterior inferrior side (visceral surface)
ligamentum venosum is remnant of
ductus venosum
round ligament is remnant of
umbilical vein
what to ligaments run together
falciform and round lig
round lig aka
teres hepatis
the round lig extends all teh way to the
umbilicus
r and l ( ) lig attach the liver to the diapragm
r and l triangular lig
the triangular ligs are extensions of the
peritoneum
the triangular ligs all around liver combine to make the
coronary lig
bare area is surrounded by
coronary lig
what is the bare area
where diapragm touches liver, visceral peritoneum dissapears
falciform lig attaches liver to
diapgram, ant abd wall, umbilicus
at inferior edge of falciform is the
round lig
inferior border is usually
sharp
if inferior border is rounded it menas the liver is
enlarged
ligament of vena cava holds what in place
inferior vena cava b/w caudate and right lobe
b/w caudate and left lobe find
ligamentum venosum
whats b/w right and caudate lobe
inferior vena cava
what two make common hepatic duct
right adn left hepatic duct
b/w right and quadrate
gallbladder
b/w quadrate and left
round lig
