Williams- Physiology of Liver and Biliary Tract Flashcards
divides segment 2 and 3 from the 4th segment in the L liver
falciform ligament
____liver composed of segments 5-8
R
_____ liver is composed of segments 2,3, and 4
L
where is segment I (caudate lobe)
in b/t the two lobes
fibrous capsule that surrounds liver
Glisson’s capsule
oxygenated blood flows in from the______
hepatic artery
nutrient rich blood flows in from the ______
portal vein
cell of the liver
hepatocyte
more than one hepatocyte
lobule
confluence of the portal venule and hepatic venule
sinusoid
b/t hepatocyte and sinusoid (basolateral surface)
Space of Disse
_______ is secreted into apical/canalicular space
bile
sinusoids are on what surface
basolateral
bile flows in what direction to blood
opposite
bile flowing away from central vein toward portal triad
choleresis
slowing of bile flow (can be due to injury to hepatocyte)
cholestasis
____ flows from portal vein and hepatic artery toward central vein (becoming a sinusoid)
blood
what view of liver
hepatic lobule
what view of the liver
Acinar view
zone 1 of liver
periportal (most oxygenated)
zone that is nearest to portal triad
periportal (zone 1)
zone 2 of liver
intermediate
zone 3 of liver
centrilobular (least oxygenated)
which zone is 1st affected by ischemia
centrilobular zone (zone 3)
what view of liver
acinar view
what makes up the portal triad
hepatic artery
portal vein
bile duct
structures that lie within hepatoduodenal ligament
hepatic a.
portal vein
bile duct
triangle of Calot borders
Superior: The inferior surface of the liver
Inferior: The cystic duct
Medial: The common hepatic duct
cystic duct and common hepatic duct join to form what
common bile duct
main area cell death occurs in the liver due to ischemic injury
centrilobular (zone 3)
drug toxicity injures what zone
zone 3
Hepatitis C injures what zone
Zone 1 (periportal)
filtration
digestion
metabolism/detoxification
protein synthesis
storage of vitamin, minerals, energy
main functions of the liver
enzymes located in cytosol of hepatocyte; if elevated in the serum, means injury to hepatocyte
AST/ALT
enzyme located on canalicular surface of hepatocyte; if elevated in serum, means bile duct in distress
GGT and Alk Phos
2 labs that can tell us about liver function
Albumin
INR
what enzymes that pertain to the liver don’t just belong to the liver
AST/ALT
what does it mean if transaminases are elevated (AST/ALT)
hepatocellular injury
phase 1 of hepatic detoxification
CYP450 alters parent molecule
