ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY
20. a. The liver is the largest organ in the body ,
weighing 3 pounds. It is encase in a fibrous
capsule and lies in the upper right quadrant of
the abdomen.
b. The liver is composed of four lobes containing
lobules that are the functioning units of the liver.
The four lobes are: the right, left, caudate and
quadrate.
c. Each lobule is composed of hepatocytes (liver
cells) and its own blood supply called sinusoids.
The phagocytic Kupffer cels are located within
the sinusoids.
d. The main blood supply to the liver is transported
via the hepatic artery and the portal vein
emptying into the inferiof vena cava via the
hepatic veins.
e. The hepatic artery receives blood directly from
the aorta and the portal vein drains the blood
from the spleen and intestines.
f. Fibers from the vagus (parasympathetic) and
celiac plexus (sympathetic) comprise the liver’s
nerve supply.
2. Biliary system
a. Hepatic lobules are the functional unit of the
liver. The lobules consist of a network of small
ducts called canaliculi.
b. The hepatic duct receives bile via the canaliculi
that join to create larger bile ducts.
c. The common bile duct is formed by the joining of
the hepatic and cystic ducts located in the liver
and gallbladder respectively. The liquid contents
21. of these ducts drain into the duodenum via the
sphincter of the Oddi.
d. Relaxing of the Sphincter of Oddi permits the
passage of bile into the duodenum
e. The gallbladder is a pear-shaped hollow organ, 3
to 4 inches long, located on the undersurface of
the right lobe of the liver.
f. Normal bile capacity is approximately 50 to
75ml.
3. Pancreas
a. The pancreas is a long, slender organ,
approximately 6 to 9 inches in length, which is
situated behind the stomach and consist of three
segments: head, body and tail.
b. The organ is composed of lobules that form
lobes.
c. The lobules have enzyme-producing acini that
release their secretions into the duct of Wirsung
or pancreatic duct.
d. The pancreas produces exocrine and endocrine
secretion. The exocrine secretions are via the
acini cells of digestive purposes. The endocrine
secretions are associated with the islets of
Langerhans whose cells are involved in the
regulation of carbohydrate metabolism.
A. Functions
1. Liver
22. a. The liver is the first organ to receive blood
carrying the final products of digestion and
decomposition products.
b. From this blood the liver begins its enormous
role in maintain normal body functions.
2. Major liver function
a. Maintains normal serum glucose levels by means
of glycogenesis, glycogenelysis, and
glucogenesis.
b. Deaminizes amino acids, forming ammonia that
is then converted into urea. Synthesizes
nonessential amino acids, plasma proteins
(albumin0, vitamin a, and coagulation factors
(fibrinogen, prothrombin), and is the source of
heparin, an anticoagulant.
c. Breaks down triglycerides and fatty acids and
stores and synthesizes excess fats. Also
synthesizes cholesterol, lipoprotein,
phospholipid and excess fat.
d. Serves as a storage place for the fat-soluble
vitamins A, D, E, K and B12, iron, and trace
elements.
e. Detoxifies potentially harmful substances, eg.,
alcohol, poisons, and various toxic substances
produced by the body. Metabolizes drugs and
excretes their breakdown products.
f. Continuously secretes and excretes bile.
3. Bile components:
a. Bile is composed of bilirubin, cholesterol, mucin,
electrolytes, bile salts, fatty acids, lecithin, water
and various inorganic and organic substances.
23. b. Biliverdin: oxidation of bilirubin forming the
greenish color in the bile.
c. Bilirubin: pigment from phagocytosed
haemoglobin removed from the blood and
chemically modified by conjugation to glucoronic
acid and formed by the hepatocytes into the
bile.
d. Bile salts: synthesized from cholesterol,
conjugated with amino acid for fat
emulsification; recycling is achieved by
reabsorption through the ileal mucosa and into
the portal circulation for transport to the liver.
4. Biliary system
a. Bile from the hepatocytes is transported to the
gallbladder via an intricate drainage system.
b. Cholecystokinin, a duodenal hormone,
stimulates the gallbladder to contract, thereby
relaxing the sphincter Oddi and releasing bile for
digestion.
5. The pancreas is composed of two basic cell types,
endocrine and exocrine. Functions of the pancreatic
exocrine cells (acini) include:
a. Production of a watery pancreatic juice rich in
enzymes for digestion and bicarbonate to
neutralize the acidic chime.
b. Production of enzymes for digestion, consisting
of amylase (hydrolyzes starch), trypsin
(proteolytic enzyme that catalizes the hydrolysis
of the petite bonds), and lipase (breaks
triglycerides into fatty acids and glycerol).
