Liver WB EX except 5,7 Flashcards
MLF fissure divedes
L and R lobe
L, R, M hepatics dived what way
longitudinally
R and L portal veins divide what way
transversly
Glissons capsule is
the liver covering
What two ligmaents &/or fissures divide the L lobe into medial and lateral portions
Falciform ligament and Ligamentum teres
Main portal vein as well as MLF divides into
L and R lobes
Whats more ecogenic portal veins or hepatic veins?
Portal
What carries blood from the bowels into the liver?
Portal V
What drains blood from the liver into the IVC?
Hepatic V
What carries oxygenated blood from the aorta to the liver?
Hepatic A
What two vessels carry blood to liver?
Portal v and Hparic A
Brief overview of metabolism

Brief overview of storage

Define Bilirubin
break down of red blood cells
Hepatobillary systym includs
liver, bile ducts, and gall bladder. Metabolic and excretory fuctions
Hepatic disease is, and treated how
hepatocytes imediate problem ex. viral hepititis destroys cells TX: medically with drugs to decrease Albumin
Obstructive disease is, and is treated how
Bile excretion is blocked, liver malfunctions as secondary result. TX: surgically Severe increase in bilitubin and Alkaine Phos
Raw materials such as carbs(sugars), amino acids (protien), are absorbed from intestines and transported to…
the circulatory system
Carbs
Glucose - energy liver maintains steady state of glucose
Glucose is converted to what for storage
glycogen (starch)
Hypoglycemis
low glucose affects brain and organs
Hperglycemis
Increased glucose levels
Fats
Monoglyceride and diglycerides
Live is the primary site for metabolism of fats and is absorbed in intestenises in the form of
Monglycerides and diglycerides
Dietary fats are converted in to the hepatocytes to
lipoprotiends the transported and stored
Fatty liver
Fat croweds hepatocytes, pregnacy obesity liver disease and diabeties.
Protiens: Indirect- Direct-
Indirect: amino acids absorbed from gut Direct: raw materials stored in body
primary site for Albumin…
liver
Albumin
Helps maintain oncotic presure within vascular supply
Chronic liver disease has increased or decreased Albumin
decreased, hypoalbuminemia Edima, swelling may occur
Sever liver disease = advanced cirrhosis leading to the development of
ascites
Ascites #1 cause
Portal hypertension
Live is the primary source of blood coagulation name two..
fibrogen (1) and prothrobim (2)
Liver disease does what to blood coagulation
decreases coagulation, uncontrollable hemorage, can lead to death
In bile duct obstruction -
there is limited fat absorbtion
in hepatocellular disease
K improves but doesnt restore
Clotting Tests Pro-time Partial thromboplastin
test result in percent of time to clott long period = low percent patient time/ normal time to clot = %
Hepatic Enzymes
Protie catalysts that leak into blood stream when hepatocytes or injurded or dead.
increased hepatic enzymes in blood = what patho
Hepaticellular dissorder
HIgh serum levels in hepatocellular and biliary obstruction
Hepat = 300 untils Biliary = 1000 units
Abnormal Alkaline is the only symptom in
Metastic disease
Hepatic Detox
break down Ammonium, notrogen metabloism converted into nontoxic urea
BUN
Measures urea in blood
Sever liver disease has high or low BUN results
low due to no urea production
