What else can I help you with?
Is the liver considered a tissue or an organ?
The liver is considered an organ, not a tissue.
How the liver diseases affect in the tissue?
Because the liver is just on the outside of the tissue
What type of epithelial tissue does the liver?
No. These are the cells that make up most of the liver's tissue and preform specialized liver functions. They contain organelles.
Is it true that a heart tissue is different then a liver tissue?
Yes
What disease occur when normal liver tissue is replaced by scar tissue?
The disease that occurs when normal liver tissue is replaced by scar tissue is known as cirrhosis. This condition results from chronic liver damage due to factors such as alcohol abuse, viral hepatitis, or fatty liver disease. As scar tissue forms, it disrupts the liver's ability to function properly, leading to complications such as liver failure, portal hypertension, and increased risk of liver cancer. Early detection and treatment are crucial to manage the disease and prevent further liver damage.
What disease is caused when liver cells are replaced by useless scar tissue?
Cirrhosis of the liver involves the replacement of healthy liver cells with scar tissue.
What is an organ such as the human liver is made up of?
liver is made uo of what tissue
Introduction on liver cirrhosis?
Cirrhosis replaces healthy liver tissue with scar tissue that blocks the flow of blood through the liver and slows down liver functions. The liver plays an important role in blood clotting and keeping the immune system healthy.
Does muscle tissue store triglycerides?
Yup, but not as much as liver and adipose tissue.
What is the liver disease caused by drinking heavily for many years?
Cirrhosis is a slow progressing disease of the liver where healthy liver tissue is gradually replaced with scar tissue. The liver can no longer filter toxins like drugs and alcohol.
Where is glycogen located in animals?
Glycogen is stored primarily in the cells of the liver
Does all liver tissue regenerate?
Not currently. Cirrhosis is caused by the liver turning into scar tissue, and once the scar tissue is there it won't grow back into liver tissue. I did just read about some Russian scientists who claim to be researching a drug that can turn the scar into stem cells which then grow back into liver cells, but assuming that this works it won't be available for many years unfortunately.
