digestive system part 4 Flashcards
what is the largest internal organ of the body
liver
where is the liver located?
RUQ of abdomen
the liver is inferior to
diaphargm
what is the liver attached by?
coronary ligament
the liver is what kind of capsule
CT
the bare areas of the liver lack what
visceral peritoneum
what are the four lobes of the liver
left
right
caudate
quadrate
the right and left lobes are separated by
CT
what ligament anchors to anterior abdomen
falciform
what extends off inferior of the liver
ligamentum teres
in the inferior view what do you see
cuadate and quadrate and porta hepatis
what is the storage and concentrates sites for bile; made in liver
gallbladder
what is a transverse fissue; BVs/ nerves enter and bile ducts/ lymph vessels leave liver
porta hepatis
what do the hepatic ducts form
right and left lobes
blood into liver through what (2) things
hepatic portal vein and hepatic artery
porta hepatis separates what from what
caudate from quadrate lobes
5 steps for the ductwork for bile and pancreatic enzymes from liver, gallbladder, and pancreas to duodenum
- the right and left hepatic ducts first unite to form a single common hepatic duct
- the cystic duct from the gallbladder joins the common hepatic duct to form the common bile duct
- bile can flow from the gallbladder through the cystic duct into the common bile duct, or it can flow back up the cystic duct into the gallbladder
- the common bile duct joins the pancreatic duct at the hepatopancreatic ampulla which is an enlargement where the two ducts merge. the hepatopancreatic ampulla empties into the duodenum at the major duodenal papilla. a smooth muscle sphincter surrounds the common bile duct where it enters the hepatopancreatic ampulla
- the accessory pancreatic duct empties pancreatic secretions in the duodenum at the minor duodenal papilla
the liver is divided into what kind of lobules
hepatic
what are the hepatic lobules surrounded by
CT septa
where is the portal triad
at each corner
what is in the center of each lobule
central vein
what two things travel in opposite directions
blood and bile
blood from hepatic artery and hepatic portal vein-> ____________->____________
hepatic sinusoids-> central vein
what lines sinusoids
kupffer cells
