4 - answer Liver Anatomy Review
The liver is divided into ____ lobes
The functional units of the liver are lobules:
Blood enters the lobule through a branch of the *portal vein*
*Hepatocytes* filter the blood
Blood exits through the *central vein*
*Kupffer cells*: line sinusoids & remove bacteria & toxins from the
blood - answer Liver Anatomy Review:
portal vein
Hepatocytes
central vein
Kupffer cells
,PV brings blood to liver from stomach, intestines, spleen, and pancreas
Liver has hundreds of functions
Essential organ and will die without functional liver - answer Liver
Anatomy: Portal Circulation
B. Detoxification
C. Protein metabolism
D. Steroid metabolism - answer The nurse should recognize that the
liver performs which functions (select all that apply)?
A. Bile storage
B. Detoxification
C. Protein metabolism
D. Steroid metabolism
E. Platelet destruction
Concentrates, produce, and excrete bile
Stores
Viatmins - answer Liver fxn
, - answer What changes are seen in liver disease r/t carbohydrate
metabolism?
Glycogenesis: turns glucose into glycogen
Glycogenolysis: breakdown of glycogen to glucose
Glocogeneogenesis: fatty acids are broken down into glucose and
released when needed - answer Functions of Liver: Carbohydrate
Metabolism
Intestine: Protein breakdown into ammonia (NH3) by action of bacteria
in gut
Liver: Ammonia converted into urea
Kidneys: Urea excreted - answer Functions of Liver: Protein Metabolism-
Deamiantion of amino acids
Synthesis of *Plasma Proteins*: Albumin maintains oncotic pressure
Synthesis of *Clotting Factors*: Prothrombin & fibrinogen
Synthesis of *non-essential amino acids* - answer Functions of Liver:
Protein Metabolism
