a majority of circulating ___ are conjugates with glycine and taurine
bile acids
true or false

transcellular transport of bile acids is achieved through diffusion
false-
trancellular transport of bile acids require specialized transporters
the entire bile pool is recirculated ___ or more times in response to ____
the entire bile pool is recirculated 2 or more times in responseto a typical meal
the recirculation of the bile is known as the ___
enterohepatic circulation
what type of cells synthesize bile?
hepatocytes
after bile is synthesized in hapatocytes, it is transported to ____
caniculus
in order for bile to be absorbed by enterocytes,, the use __ transporter
ASBT
once in cells, bile uses ___ to mover from apical portion of cell to basolateral portion
MRP3 and MRP4
____ transports bile from basolateral portion of cell to blood (portal vein)
OST
after bile is transported from the basolateral portion of the cell to the portal vein, bile is conjugated with ___ as they travel through the portal vein from the intestine back to liver and enter the sinusoidal spaces
albumen
after the albumen is removed the bile acids are tranported into hepatocytes (basolateral surface) from the protal vein by __ ,___, and ___
OATPs, mEH, NTCP
OATPs, mEH, NTCP are ___ dependent cotransporters
Na
control of bile acid synthesis and secretion is controlled by the rate of return of ___ to the __
return of bile acids to the liver
stimulates the uptake and resecretion of bile acids (by the ___)
hapatacytes
the stimulation of secretion is called the ___ effect of bile
choleretic effect
___ are substances that enhance bile acid secretion
choleretics
__% of bile acids escape absorption and is excreted
10-20%
Bile acids that return to the liver are taken up by what kind of cells?
hepatocytes
which rapidly resecretes them during the course of digestion
Bile acids lost into the feces are the only significant source of ___excretion
Cholesterol
high blood cholesterol is a risk factor for ____
coronary heart disease
when do crystals of cholesterol tend to form in the bile?
if more cholesterol is present in the bile than can be solublized in the micells, then the bile is supersaturated with cholesterol and crystals of cholesterol ten to form in the bile
cholesterol crystals in bile leads to the formation of ____ in the duct system of the liver or in the gallbladder
cholesterol gallstones
____- accumulation of bile salts in the blood and deficiency of bile salts in the intestinal lumen
cholestasis
cholestasis is the accumulation of bile salts in the blood and deficiency of bile salts in the intestinal lumen , there is decreased bile flow through what ?
canaliculi
what is a degraded product of red blood cells, specifically the porphyrin moiety of hemoglobin
bilirubin
bilirubin is removed from the blood by hepatocytes and conjugates with glucuronic acid to form ___
bilirubin glucuronides
bilirubin is a degraded product of RBC, specifically ___ of hemoglobin is converted to bilirubin
porphyrin moiety
bilirubin is removed from the blood by ___ (type of cell)
hepatocytes
what stimulates the uptake and resecretion of bile acids as well as remove bilirubin from the blood
hepatocytes
bilirubin is removed from the blood by hepatocytes and conjugated with ___ to form bilirubin glucuronides
glucuronic acid
what color is bilirubin?
yellow (contributes to the color of the bile)
colonic bacteria convert bilirubin to ___
urobilinogen
what consists of calcium salts or unconjugated bilirubin?
bile pigment gallstones
conjugated bilirubin is soluble or insoluble
soluble and does not form insoluble calcium salts in bile
____ converts bilirubin to urobilinogen
colonic bacteria
in liver disease, bile may contain elevated levels of conjugated or unconjugated bilirubin?
