25
Q

Describe the structure of the biliary tree

A
  • Liver secretes bile into right and left hepatic ducts
  • Which join to form common hepatic duct
  • Which empties into bile duct
  • Which unites with the pancreatic duct to form the hepatopancreatic ampulla
  • Which opens into major duodenal papilla
  • Excess bile backs up bile duct and cystic duct into gallbladder
26
Q

Identify three functions of the liver

A
  • Metabolises fat, carbohydrate and protein
  • Storage of glycogen, vitamins and iron
  • Detoxifies drugs and toxins
27
Q

Outline the arterial supply of the liver

A
  • Coeliac trunk gives off common hepatic artery
  • Which gives off hepatic artery proper which ascends towards liver in free edge of lesser omentum along with bile duct and portal vein
  • It gives off right and left hepatic arteries
28
Q

Outline the lymphatic drainage of the liver

A
  • Several lymph nodes near porta hepatis

- Efferent vessels pass to coeliac nodes

29
Q

Outline the innervation of the liver

A
  • Sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves from coeliac plexus

  • Neck
31
Q

Identify the arterial supply to the gallballder

A
  • Cystic artery

32
Q

What is the function of the gallbladder?

A
