What are the functions of bile canaliculi?
Bile canaliculi act as ducts that collect bile secreted from hepatic cells.
What is attached to the hepatic duct?
Hepatic duct is attached with liver. The union of hepatic duct and cystic duct forms common bile duct.
The common bile duct is formed by the connection of what two ducts?
The common bile duct is formed by the joining of the common hepatic duct (from the liver) and the cystic duct (from the gallbladder).
The common bile duct consist of?
cystic duct and the hepatic duct
Trace the flow of bile from the liver to the duodenum listing all of the structure that come into contact with the bile on its journey.?
The hepatocytes in the liver produce bile, which then flows through the left and right hepatic ducts to the common hepatic duct. Once the common hepatic duct is filled, the bile flows into the cystic duct and then into the gallbladder where it is stored. The gallbladder allows the bile to flow back into the cystic duct and then the common bile duct which empties into the duodenum.
The fusion of the hepatic duct and the cystic duct forms the?
common bile duct
What is Bile pH level?
The hepatic Bile has a pH of about 7.4 and the Bladder bile has a pH of about 6.8. On an average the pH of bile juice is between 6.8 and 7.6.
What duct is formed by the merger of the cystic duct and the common hepatic duct?
The merger of the cystic duct and the common hepatic duct forms the common bile duct. This duct carries bile from the liver and gallbladder to the small intestine for digestion.
What is a hepatic triad and what does it consists of?
A portal triad is comprised of a hepatic artery, a hepatic portal vein and a bile duct. There is also a nerve that accompanies each triad.
What is the function of liver in production?
The function of the liver is that it creates it. It has special cells called hepatocytes to produce it. And then it sends it on its way to be stored in the gall bladder or drained directly into the stomach to assist in digestion of fats. There is a whole interconnected system of ductwork that the liver uses for the bile to travel down - usually called the biliary tree. Bile is first collected from the cells in the bile canaliculi, which merge into bile ducts, then the left and right hepatic ducts, and then the common hepatic duct. From there - it can either swing into the gall bladder via the cystic duct, or continue downward into common bile duct - which connects into the duodenum.
What do you mean by 'Intra hepatic biliary radicals are not dilated' in liver?
This means that on the CT scan, the canals within the liver cells that produce bile for the digestion of fats are not dilated, showing there is no blockage downstream of the bile ducts.
What is the structure that connects the liver the gallbladder and pancreas?
The hepatic ducts leave the liver and combine to form the common hepatic duct. The gall bladder is connected to the cystic duct which combines with the hepatic duct to form the bile duct, this duct leads to the duodenum.
