What is the directional term of the gallbladder to the surface of the liver?
posterior
What excretes salt from its surface?
The skin excretes salts from it's surface. I don't believe that the liver does.
Liver small with unsmooth surface and large spleen?
micronodular cirrhosis of the liver leading to portal venous hypertension and splenomegaly
The colon travels upward from the cecum to the under surface of the liver?
The ascending colon extends from the cecum to the under surface of the liver where it turns to the left to become the transverse colon.
Effect of pulping liver upon the reaction with hydrogen peroxide?
It releases the peroxidase in the liver cells.
What is porta hepatis?
Visceral surface of the liver where the portal vein & hepatic vein meet
What does a parenchymal echotexture of liver is increased?
The echo texture of an organ is its ability to bounce an echo (of an ultrasound, for example) off the surface. The parenchymal structure of the liver is its connective tissue. If the echo texture is increased, that means the density of the liver has increased.
Why does macerated liver react faster than whole liver on hydrogen peroxide?
By macerating the liver, you are increasing its surface area (SA) therefore, the enzyme catalase can break down the hydrogen peroxide at a much faster and easier rate.
What is a organille that makes protein?
It is the mitochondria. It provides surface for that
Why does the liver have more catalase?
In fact it doesn't 'produce' more catalyseBy grinding up the liver, you are producing small bits of liver and therefore have more surface area. Hence providing more surface area = more opportunities for to the catalyse to go to work.It's all about surface area to volume ratio.The More surface area you have to volume ratio, the quicker the reaction.(smaller bits of grind up liver, will produce a quicker reaction)and vise versa.
Why doesn't macerated liver react with hydrogen Peroxide like liver does?
Because by macerating it, you increase the surface area. Therefore you will have a faster reaction. More O2 will form in less time.
Where is the caudate lobe of the liver located?
The main function of the caudate lobe of the liver is to drain fluid from bile ducts into either the right heptic duct or its branches. The caudate lobe is divided into five surfaces consisting of the right plane, the ventral-border plane, the left surface, the hilar-free surface, and the dorsal.
