OH Ch 10 Flashcards
This is a small organ inferior to the liver with a cystic duct connecting to its neck
Gallbladder
2 functions of the gall bladder
- Store bile (70ml)
- Concentrate bile
(cystic bile=concentrated in gallbladder)
(hepatic bile=less concentrated from liver
What nerve and peptide hormone is bile release controlled by?
Vagus nerve and CCK
Surface epithelium of the gall bladder
simple columnar
T/F: The gall bladder contains a well defined layer of submucosa.
False–It is absent (very unusual)
T/F: The muscularis externus of the gall bladder is a very abnormal pattern.
True–thin smooth muscle layer with a disorganized muscle arrangement
This organ is surrounded by a thin CT capsule. Septa divide into the organ creating lobules.
Pancreas
islets of Langerhans producing hormone are part of the (endocrine/exocrine) pancreas.
Endocrine pancreas
serous acini producing digestive enzymes are part of the (endocrine/exocrine) pancreas.
Exocrine pancreas (largest portion)
Serous acini secretion is controlled by which peptide hormone, NT, and nerve fibers?
CCK, Ach, parasympathetics
Pancreatic duct secretion is controlled by which hormone, NT, and nerve fibers?
Secretin, Ach, parasympathetics
______ cells are located next to acinar cells. Along with the cuboid cells in the intercalated pancreatic ducts, they produce alkaline fluid with large quantities of bicarbonate ions which function to buffer stomach chyme.
Centroacinar cells
What kind of CT wraps pancreatic ducts? Its function is to provide extra protection from possible leaking digestive enzymes.
Collagen-rich
This is the largest gland in the body with endocrine and exocrine functions.
Liver
5 functions of the liver
- Metabolism of carbs, lipids, proteins
- Produce blood proteins, factors, and non-essential vitamins
- Detoxify blood
- Produce hepatic bile
- Store certain vitamins
