Q

where are plasma proteins made

A

SER and RER of hepatocytes

22
Q

detox loaction

A

SER- oxidation and conjugation
perioxisome- oxidation and catabolism
lysosome- waste digestion and iron storage

23

24
Q

endocrine function of liver

A

converts T4 to T3
GH releasing factors
degrades insulina nd glucagon

25

causes of hepatitis

A

toxins, drugs, viral

degeneration of hepatocytes

28
Q

councilman bodies

A

spotty necrosis with aggregates of inflammatory cells around necrotic hepatocytes

29
Q

cirrhosis of liver

A

collagen fibers replace reticular fibers
end stage of several liver diseases
blood flow compromised and bile flow blocked–> portal tension–> jaundice

Q

calculi

A

gallstones

solid chunks of bile that attract salt and calcium deposits

34
Q

obstructive jaundice

A

blockage in common bile duct resulting in bile backup and spillage into blood

35
Q

cholecystitis

A

gallbladder inflammation caused by blockage of cystic duct resulting in gallbladder hypertrophy and increased luminal pressure

36
Q

Rokitansky-Aschoff sinuses

A
