Test 2: 12 liver 1 Flashcards
liver gets blood from
Portal Circulation
hepatic artery
red?
centriloblar lobule- zone 3
midzonal lobule- zone 2
periportal lobule- zone 1
blood flows from portal triad to the central vein
portal triad includes
portal venule
hepatic arteriole
bile ductule
kupffer cells (macrophages of liver)
stellate cells
leakage enzymes such as — live — in the hepatocytes
ALT- Alanine Aminotransferase
AST- Aspartate Aminotransferase
SDH- Sorbitol Dehydrogenase
cytoplasm
if there is damage to hepatocyte, you will find these in the blood
induced enzymes such as — are found where in the hepatocyte
Alkaline Phosphatase- ALP
Gammaglutamyl Transpeptide –GGT
membrane bound- seen with increased stress on hepatocyte- increased metabolic activity
Macrophages within sinusoids/space of Disse
kupffer cells
kupffer cells eat —
RBC and bacteria, immune complex and endotoxins
kupffer cells will accumulate —
iron, ceroid /lipofuscin/lipid
from eating RBC, bacteria and old cells
Stellate cells are involved in — metabolism
vit A
found in space of Disse
stellate cells are also called
Ito cells or hepatic lipocytes
stellate cells may transform to —
myofibroblasts and contribute to
fibrosis, along with other fibroblasts
what proteins does the liver make
Albumin
Fibrinogen
Clotting factors
Globulin
primary Photosensitization
is caused by
Liver incapable of excreting photodynamic compound
Ingestion of St. John’s wort (Hypericum perforatum)
secondary photosensitization (hepatogenous) is caused by
damage to liver
eat food with cholestasis, can’t break down Phylloerythrin (catabolite of chlorophyll) or other
photodynamic compounds
these accumulate in the skin and cause severe sun burn
type 2 Photosensitization
congenital porphyria
hereditary defect in heme metabolism
hemoglobin break down
kupffer cells with eat iron
bilirubin metabolism
RBC breaksdown in spleen, gets attached to albumin complex
unconjugated bilirubin: albumin enters liver
hepatocyte conjugates bilirubin making it water soluble
excreted in bile into the intestine
some reuptake
most degraded to urobilinogen by bacteria and excreted in poop
bile in liver flows
in canaliculi opposite direction of blood
will flow toward the portal triad
another name for jaundice
icterus
hyperbilirubinemia
prehepatic icterus is caused by
massive breakdown of RBC
leading to large amounts of unconjugated bilirubin
hepatic icterus is caused by
liver issue- unable to uptake and/or excrete bilirubin
leads to Increased conjugated and unconjugated bilirubin
posthepatic icterus is caused by
Bile duct obstruction
Increased conjugated bilirubin
