Liver, Gall Bladder, Pancreas Flashcards
Lobes of the liver
two primary ones, then there is the ones on the back the caudate and quadrate
Glissons Cavity
the capsule covering of the liver
Hepatocytes
polygonal with 6 surfaces two basal surface face sinusoids, contain microvilli 4 surfaces hold cubes together by tight junctions seal off spaces called bile canaliculi granular and smooth ER abundant have so many golgi for bile packaging so many mitochondir and peroxisomes and lysosoomes
sinusoids
blood flows through for endocrine secretions
they are lined by endothelial cells and are fenestrated and discontinuous
Space of Disse
space between endothelial and hepatocytes that microvilli extend in to to touch the blood
bile canaliculi
regions adjacent to hepatocytes gap for bile no lining cells
biliaray tree
system that increases in diameter
bile canaliculi - small canal
bile ductiles - canals of hering - first site of cholangiocytes - cuboidal epithelium carry to portal triad
bile ducts - cuboidal to columnar
cholangiocytes
first seen in the bile ductiles with cuboidal epithelium
hepatic stellate cell
aka ito cell or fat storing cell
found in perisinusoidal space
store vitamin A
fibrosis and cirrhoses
pathological differentiate to myofibroblast deposit collegen Type I and III so liver fills with collagen and blocks circulation
Kupffer Cells
resident macrophage of liver derived from monocytes located in sinusoids
hepatic circulation (3)
portal vein - main channel collects poorly oxygenated very nutrient rich blood fro mGI
Hepatic Vein - goes to heart
Hepatic Artery - supplies blood to parenchyma - this will mix with with portal vein an dtravel toward central vein
portal Triad components
not actually a triad anymore and called portal canals
protal vein hepatic artery bile ducts and lpmyh vessels
note that bile moves toward the triad and blood moves away
The three organizations of liver
A) classic, liver lobule hexagon with each corner a porgal canal, center is central vein. shows path of blood
B) Portal, function follows bile movement. shows triangle shape
C) liver acinus, shows blood perfusion oxygen level also includes
the blood lines form edges of hexagon. Nearest the edge is the most oxygen and most toxins!
The five funcitons of liver
secretion of bile- into canaliculi, function to emulsify fat in duadenum
excretion of waste - bile also used to carry waste, bilirubin - waste from RBC hemoglobin
Secretion of blood substance
detox - smooth er can metabolize toxins like alcohol
Immune Response - by kupffer cells to phagocytose problems
