The Liver Lobule is a Hexagonal shaped unit comprised of ______ (Liver cells) and irregular columns called ______ ______ Hepatocytes; Liver Cords
The three major components of the area in the Liver, the Hepatic Triad, named after its triangular shape: 1. 2. 3. 1. Hepatic Artery 2. Portal Vein 3. Bile Ducts
Vein in the Liver which supplies blood to the organ from the Small Intestine, Spleen, and Pancreas? Portal Vein
A fissure on the Visceral surface of the Liver, where the portal vein and hepatic artery enter and the hepatic ducts leave? Porta Hepatis
Artery which supplies the Liver with oxygenated blood? Hepatic Artery
Where the Hepatic Artery enters the Liver Porta Hepatis
Brings blood from the Digestive Tract, Spleen, and Pancreas to the Liver Portal Vein
Channels in the Liver lined with Epithelium Sinosoids
Phagocytic Cells, interspersed among the Sinosoids, which engulf bacteria and other foreign substances before the blood returns back to the Heart? Kupffer's Cells
Three ______ ______ convey detoxified blood from the Liver to the Inferior Vena Cava to be returned to the Heart. Hepatic Veins
A network of tiny bile ducts around the Liver Cells Bile Canaliculi
What conveys bile out of the Liver? Right and Left Hepatic Ducts
The Right and Left Hepatic Ducts join to become the? Common Hepatic Duct
Duct that conveys bile to the Gallbladder Cystic Duct
The Cystic Duct and Common Hepatic Duct merge to become the? Common Bile Duct
The Common Bile Duct meets the ______ ______ to enter the Descending Duodenum at an opening called the ______ of ______ Pancreatic Duct; Ampulla of Vater
A muscular ring which controls the flow of bile into the Duodenum at the Ampulla of Vater is called the? Sphincter of Oddi
Inflammation of the Liver Hepatitus
Occurs when Liver cells are replaced by scar tissue due to poor nutrition and alcoholism Cirrhosis of the Liver
A secondary tumor, metastasized from a primary tumor located elsewhere in the body. Liver Cancer
Pear-shaped, thin walled musculo-membranous organ Gallbladder
What are the structures of the Gallbladder? Neck, Body, and Fundus
The narrowed portion of the Gallbladder, continuous with the Cystic Duct? Neck
Major segment of the Gallbladder which projects upward and to the left? Body
Expanded segment of the Gallbladder, which projects downward and to the right? Fundus
Function of the Gallbladder Store and release bile
What hormone stimulates the contraction and release of bile? Cholecystokinen
Evacuation of bile from the Gallbladder is released from the? Duodenal Bulb
Inflammation of the Gallbladder, caused by gallstones that block the Biliary Tree? Cholecystitis

Portion of the Pancreas passing transversely across the Abdomen, behind the Stomach and in front of the Left Kidney? Body
Left lower portion of the Pancreas reaching toward the vicinity of the Spleen? Tail
Function of the Pancreas? Serves as both an Exocrine and Endocrine Gland
The Exocrine portion of the Pancreas is composed of clusters of cells known as? Acini
The Pancreas secretes Pancreatic enzymes, which _________ break down Carbohydrates, Proteins and Fats. Chemically
