|
CCKcells |
produce “cholecystokinin” Intestinal hormone cell. SI |
|
cholecystokinin |
a hormone that travels to the walls of the gallbladder (viabloodstream) and tell the walls of gallbladder to start contracting. When itcontracts, it pushes excess bile into SI (duodenum), and helps to break downfat. |

|
Bile duct (bile canaliculii) in the portal traid |
moves bile from the liver to the common bile duct. Away from central vein. Toward portal triad. Goes to gall bladder or directly to small intestine |
|
Kupffercells |
• starfish shaped. Sit along the wall of the branches of the portal vein. Responsible for detoxify blood as it moves through the portal vein branch. Helpdestroy old red blood cells, old dead white blood cells, and bacteria |
|
Hepatocytes |
liver cells. make up the parenchyma of the liver. The bulk of liver. And takewhat had been detoxified by Kupffer cells and convert that substance into bile. Then they push bile into the bile ducts of the sinusoid. Then joins the biliarytree. |
