All of these viruses like Hep A, B or C have matching proteins that work like a docking stations. They have one that fits just so with the one on the liver cell. Other viruses work the same way. The influenza virus affects the cells of the respiratory tract. Chickenpox viruses affect the skin but also the nerves.

What is true about hepatitis b and a?
They are sometimes caused by a virus. They can be prevented with a vaccine. Hep A and B can cause swelling or inflammation, and possible damage, to the liver. Hepat= liver itis= swelling, inflammation Thus: hepatitis= swelling or inflammation of the liver. There is also Hep C which is very hard and in some cases impossible to cure, and Hep C has no vaccine. Fortunately it is more rare to contract Hep C (mostly IV drug users or unprotected anal sex).
Does Hep C slow down the process in your body?
Yes. It is an infectious disease that affects your liver, thus resulting in liver failure.

What are 3 functions of insulin?
Insulin (secreted by the beta cell of the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas in) causes cells, liver, adipose and muscle cells, to take up glucose from the blood after a meal to prevent hyperglycemia. (Targets Glucose transporter GLUT4 and Glucokinase) An increase in insulin causes Fatty acid synthesis in the liver (targets Acetyl-CoA carboxylase) It also causes triacylglycerol synthesis in adipose tissue (targets Lipoprotein lipase)
What are the cells that make up the liver?
there are penitential cells in the liver, -narb
