|
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?
|
Emulsificationdecreases 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

|
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
