  • Front
  • Back
Contain large lipid droplets and are the major storage site for Vit A; found in space of disse
Stellate cells
Livers main exocrine function?
Secrete bile
Portal triad?
Hepatic artery, portal vein, bile duct
Outline the path of bile in the liver
Bile canaliculi (canals of Herin)-->bile ductulestrabecular ducts-->R/L hepatic ducts-->common hepatic duct-->cystic duct or common bile duct-->Gallbladder or duodenum
Classic Lobule
Single hexagonal block with central vein and portal triads at all 6 corners
Liver Acinus
2 adjacent classic lobules, w/ the distance b/n central veins (long axis), and the distance b/n portal triads (short axis). This correlates with blood flow, and is broken into 3 zones.
What zone is most susceptible to metabolic toxins?
Zone 3 b/c it contains P450s
What are the surfaces of the hepatocytes?
1) Basal: to perisinusoidal space (blood exhchange)
2) Lateral: hepatocyte to hepatocyte
3) Apical: to bile canaliculus"

SIX sides; two of each
Oval cells
bipotential "stem cells" in biliary epithelium which can form hepatocytes or biliary epithelium during chronic liver damage
CCK induce in pancreas?
Acinar Cells-->Secrete zymogen granules
Secretin induce in pancreas?
Centroacinar cells-->secrete alkaline fluid
Hepatocytes are rich in ?
rER, mitochondria, glycogen granules, and lipid droplets
Derivates of monocytes and are involved in the breakdown of senile RBC
Kupffer cells
Where exchange of substance between blood and hepatocytes
Space of Disse
If a lobectomy is performed...
the remaining lobe will proliferate
Bile canaliculi contain?
ATPases; suggests that bile secretion is an active process
What divides R from L in the liver?
Falciform ligament
What parts of the liver are donated to an adult
Right side (5-8); supplied by right hepatic vein

Left (2,3 not 4) for a peds patient
What does the gallbladder directly absorb?
H20, Na, Cl, and bicarb
Bile acids are reabsorbed where?
Mostly in the TI
What activates trypsininogen
Enterokinase and trypsin; trypsin then activates Chymotrpsin and carboxypeptidase (which make single AA)
What type of collagen in reticular fibers of the liver?
Type 3
What type of epithelium are bile ductules
Simple CUBOIDAL
What type of epithelium is the gall bladder?
Simple COLUMNAR
Liver cells plates function?
Make bile and drain in the opposite direction
Bile salt function?
Emulsificationdecreases surface tension and breaks fat globules into smaller size particles; Forms Micelles and helps absorption of fat breakdown products by helping fats remain soluble in an aqueous envirionment (fatty acids, monoglycerides, and cholesterol need to be removed after digestion by micelles)
Pancreatic amylase
Major amylase that breaks down the starches
Maltose---maltase-->Glucose
Lipase
Digest Triglycerides
bilirubin is kept in solution through interactions with these cytosolic proteins?
Ligandins
Enzyme that conjugates Bilirubin in the liver?
uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase: UGT1A1
MOAT (multiorganic anion transporter)
In canalicular membranes and is involved in bilirubin excretion
The GI tract/BACTERIA converts conjugated bilirubin to
Urobilinogen (makes stools brown)
What does the kidney convert urobilinogen to?
Urobilin;makes urine yellow
How are bile acids formed?
In liver, cholesterol (7a-hydroxylase)-->bile acids-cholic acid and chenodeoxycholic acid (unique hydroxyl group at position 7) secreted into bile canaliculi, which are specialized channels formed by adjacent hepatocytes
Primary bile acids are converted to secondary bile acids by?
bacteria in the gut via dehydroxylation rxns (Deoxycholic acid and lithocholic acid)
bile acids are reabsorbed in the TI into portal blood and taken up by hepatocytes then?
conjugated to glycine or taurine, forming bile salts (lowers the pK and makes them more soluble in the small intestine)
Familial Hypercholesterolemia Mutation?
Mutation in the gene encoding the LDL receptor
Autosomal dominant with a gene dosage effect
Function of the LDL receptor
limits LDL production by removing precursor IDL (B-100, apo E-->higher affinity for LDL receptor) from the circulation; LDL receptor enhances LDL degredation by mediating cellular uptake of LDL
Treatment for FH
Bile acid binding resins (cholestyramine and colestipol): bind bile acids in the lumen preventing reabsorption; therefore more cholesterol is used to make bile acids, the decreased Cholesterol-->increased LDL receptors-->decreased LDL cholesterol (10-20%)
and
HMG--CoA reductase, and diet
List the types of unconjugated Hyperbilirubinemia
Neonatal Jaundice, Crigler-Najjar types 1 and 2, Gilbert syndrome, Hemolytic, Hepatocellular damage
List the types of Conjugated jaundice Hyperbilirubinemia
Inability of hepatocytes to secrete conjugated bilirubin into the bile canaliculi
Dubin-Johnson and Rotor Syndrome
Obstruction of the bile ducts
List the reasons for Neonatal Jaundice
Low activity of UGT1A, Decrease excretory capacity of hepatocytes, Increased bilirubin production 2ndary to accelerated destruction of fetal erythrocytes
Treatment for Neonatal Jaundice
Phototherapy (430-490 nm); bilirubin can be excreted in bile without conjugation
Cirrhosis on histo?
Nodules of hepatic parenchyma surrounded by fibrous bands containing lymphocytes and neutrophils
What are the fat soluble vitamins?
D, E, A, K; bile acids facilitate absorption of these vitamins
