        Help!  

Term
Definition
Liver   Largest Internal Organ, and Heaviest Gland in Body; inferior to diaphragm and occupies most of right hypochondriac and epigastric regions  
🗑
GallBladder   Pear-shaped sac, located on inferior surface of liver  
🗑
Right Lobe and Left Lobe   Larger/Small respectively. Divided by falciform ligament  
🗑
Falciform Ligament   A mesentaric fold of the peritoneum, spanning from diaphram, anterior abdominal wall, and visceral peritoneum  
🗑
Right Lobe Parts   Inferior quadrate lobe, and posterior caudate lobe  
🗑
Ligamentum Teres   Round Ligament--extends from liver to umbilicus; remnant of umbilical cord  
🗑
Coronary Ligaments   Suspend liver from diaphragm  
🗑
Gall--Fundus   Projects downward beyond inferior border of liver  
🗑
Gall--Body and Neck   Project superiorly  
🗑
Hepatocytes   One cell thick; line up in hepatic laminae (rows); membrane forms grooves for canaliculi for bile secretion  
🗑
Hepatic Laminae   Rows of heptocytes, spaces in between cells allow for bile secretion  
🗑
Bile   Yellow, brownish or olive green liquid secreted; emulsify lipids into suspensions, and assist in absorption of lipids into lacteals  
🗑
Bile Canaliculi   Small Ducts in between hepatocytes that collect bile and pass into ductules and bile ducts.  
🗑
Bile Ducts   Left and Right hepatic ducts; exit liver as common hepatic duct; joins with cystic duct of gall bladder to form common bile duct  
🗑
Hepatic Sinusoids   Highly permeable blood capillaries b/w hepati laminae receive oxygenated blood from hepatic artery and nutrient rich deoxygenated blood from portal vine. Converge into Central Vein  
🗑
Portal Triad   Bile Duct, Hepatic Artery, and Hepatic Portal Vein  
🗑
Hepatic Lobule   Hexagon shape; three corners of portal triad  
🗑
Portal Lobule   Exocrine Function; bile secretion  
🗑
Hepatic Acinus   Oval mass that includes portions of two hepatic lobules. Short axis is branches of portal triad. Zone 1 = glucose, zone 3 = fat accumulate, Zone 2= structural  
🗑
Kuppffer Cells   Destroy worn out white and red blood cells. Phagocytic  
🗑
Sphincter of Oddi   Bile goes back into cystic duct for storage between meals; closes off duodenum.  
🗑
Liver Function   Carb metabolism (glucose level, conversion), lipid metabolism, protein metabolism (deamination), drug processing, excretion of bilirubin, Synth of bile, Storage (vit and glycogen), Phagocytosis, Vit D activation  
🗑
Bilirubin   Derived fom heme of red blood cells (aged). Secreted into bile. Mostly metabolized by small intestine and bacteria; eliminated in feces.  
🗑
