Computerized notes of liver.

-

 The liver is the largest organ in the body. It is located below the diaphragm in the right upper quadrant of the abdominal cavity. An adult's liver weighs approximately 3 pounds and extends approximately from the right 5th rib to the lower border of the rib cage.

The liver is separated into a right and left lobe, separated by the falciform ligament. The right lobe is much larger than the left lobe. The working cells of the liver are known as hepatocytes. Hepatocytes have a unique capacity to reproduce in response to liver injury. Liver regeneration can occur after surgical removal of a portion of the liver or after injuries that destroy parts of the liver. Although the liver's ability to react to damage and repair itself is remarkable, repetitive insults can produce liver failure and death.


The liver is a metabolically active organ responsible for many vital life functions. The primary functions of the liver are:


☑️Bile production and excretion

☑️Excretion of bilirubin, cholesterol, hormones, and drugs

☑️Metabolism of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates

☑️Enzyme activation

☑️Storage of glycogen, vitamins, and minerals

☑️Synthesis of plasma proteins, such as albumin, and clotting factors

☑️Blood detoxification and purification

☑️Due to these important activities, the liver is exposed to a number of insults and is one of the body's organs most subject to injury.


The biliary system consists of the gallbladder, and the hepatic, cystic, and common bile ducts.The gallbladder is located beneath the right lobe of the liver. The primary function of the gallbladder is to store and concentrate bile. Bile is comprised of bile salts, bilirubin, phospholipids, cholesterol, bicarbonate and water. Bile salts mix with ingested fats to promote absorption of fats from the gastrointestinal tract. Bilirubin, cholesterol, and phospholipids are end products of metabolism. Bicarbonate and water are needed in the gastrointestinal tract to help neutralize stomach acid, as digestion and absorption require an alkaline environment.


After it's formation in the liver, bile flows into the hepatic duct. The hepatic duct joins with the cystic duct of the gallbladder to form the common bile duct, which then enters the duodenum at the ampulla of Vater. The sphincter of Oddi surrounds the ampulla of Vater.


When stomach contents, especially fats and protein enter the duodenum, cholecystokinin is released from the duodenal mucosal cells to stimulate contraction of the gallbladder and relaxation of the sphincter of Oddi so that bile can enter the small intestine.


Cholecystokinin also:


☑️stimulates the secretion of bile salts into the biliary system

☑️stimulates the secretion of pancreatic enzymes

☑️induces satiety (lack of hunger)

☑️modulates hormones and neuropeptides.

  From being a farmer to an IPS officer, this story will inspire you to never give up on your dreams ____________________________________ If you’re down in your life, here’s some Sunday inspiration to motivate you. Humans of Bombay, a photoblog which captures the lives of Mumbaikars, recently shared a story of Additional Commissioner of Mumbai Police, Pratap R Dighavkar. The IPS officer always wanted to be a part of the government. It was his childhood dream that came true after years of hard work and struggles. Read the complete story here… “I was born in a small village called Litania near Nashik. We had only one primary school in our village and the only available profession for men was farming but since I was young I wanted to be a part of the government. It actually was a really funny incident — once when I was young and I saw an aeroplane in the sky, I asked my mother who owns these planes and she randomly said ‘the government’ and since then that’s what I wanted to be a part of.
