Gallbladders and Bile

The gallbladder contracts in response to a hormone called cholecystokinin (CCK), which is released after the ingestion of a fatty meal. This contraction helps to release bile stored in the gallbladder into the digestive tract to aid in the digestion and absorption of fats.

Bile enters the gastrointestinal tract at the duodenum, the first part of the small intestine. It is released from the gallbladder and helps in the digestion of fats by emulsifying them.

liver secrets bile salts from cholesterol

The normal pH of cerebrospinal fluid is around 7.33-7.41. Bile typically has a slightly alkaline pH ranging from 7.6 to 8.6.

It is basically eggplant shaped; larger on the bottom and smaller on the top.

The green substance in the gallbladder is called bile. Bile is produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder before being released into the small intestine to help with digestion, particularly for breaking down fats.

Bile is not considered an enzyme. Bile rather allows enzymes to interact more effectively with enzymes secreted by the pancrease. The way that bile does this is to help break fat into small droplets and surrounding these droplets. These droplets are called micelles. This provides increased total surface area of fat for pancreatic lipolytic enzymes to interact with. These primary enzymes that interact with the bile formed micelle are glycerol ester hydrolase (pancreatic lipase), cholesterol esterase, and phospholipase A2.

Bile is primary composed of the following: (1) bile acids, (2) bile pigments, (3) cholesterol, and (4) phospholipids.

Bile is not an enzyme. It breaks up oil droplets. it also neutralises stomach acids.

Bile is a greenish-yellow fluid produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder. It plays a key role in digestion by breaking down fats and assisting in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Bile is composed of bile salts, cholesterol, and bilirubin.

The frog's liver produces chemicals which detoxify it's blood, also the liver stores starches and emmulsifies fats.

I really hope this helps :) I know this because i'm dissecting a frog soon in my science class! I'm so excited

Bile acids aid in the digestion and absorption of fats by emulsifying them into smaller droplets. They also help in the excretion of waste products, such as bilirubin and cholesterol, from the body. Additionally, bile acids play a role in signaling pathways that regulate lipid and glucose metabolism.

Yes, viral infections like hepatitis can cause liver enzyme levels to rise. However, the common cold typically does not directly impact liver enzyme levels. If you are experiencing elevated liver enzymes, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause.

Malachite green is not commonly used in hydroseeding to give mulch its color. Mulch colorants are typically organic or mineral-based pigments that are safe for the environment. Malachite green is a synthetic dye that has been associated with health and environmental concerns.

Thoughts and actions being out of line with universal law. Each time we take a step toward something whether physical or a mental understanding, there is imbalance while the step is being taken. From this perspective, we experience much imbalance because we are in the process of learning and achieving goals. As we get familiar with the universal laws and cause ourselves to work in harmony with those laws, we simultaneously learn to control the energy that is ours to use. Uncontrolled energy causes chaos. In short, there is always something for us to respond to. The opposite of responding is reacting which comes from ignorance of the cause of the disturbance. Just look around and observe and you will see more reacting than responding because of lack of awareness. Rationalizing and intellectualizing rather than reasoning. The other six parts of yourself cannot be understood through the intellect. They must be experienced. At this period of time, most people are only aware of what the five physical senses have to offer, which gives you a very small part of the whole picture. the numbers, however, are growing.

6-dimethylaminofulvene can be synthesized by reacting dimethylamine with cyclopentadiene under appropriate conditions. The reaction usually involves adding dimethylamine to cyclopentadiene in an anhydrous solvent such as diethyl ether, followed by a suitable work-up procedure to isolate the product. Purification can be achieved through techniques such as column chromatography or recrystallization.

The liver is responsible for drug detoxification and bile production. The liver processes drugs and toxins to make them easier for the body to eliminate, and it also produces bile which helps in the digestion and absorption of fats in the digestive system.

"Cyclopentadrine" N-α-dimethylcyclopentaneethaneamine hydrochloride CAS No.: 102-45-4 (base)

cyclopentanone

cyanoacetic acid

ammonium acetate

hydrogen

magnesium

methyl iodide

methylamine

hydrogen chloride

A mixture of 126g (1.5 mols) of cyclopentanone, 128g (1.5 mols) cyanoacetic acid, 31g (0.5 mol) of ammonium acetate and 200cc of dry benzene is heated under a refluxing condenser and a water trap. The mixture is refluxed for about 12 hours after which time no more water collects in the trap, and the formation of cyclopentylideneacetonitrile is complete. The reaction mixture comprising a mixture of cyclopentylideneacetonitrile and cyclopentylideneacetic acid is washed with about one liter of 2% hydrochloric acid and the benzene layer is separated and the mixture is distilled to cause decarboxylation of the cyclopentylideneacetic acid present. The distillate comprising cyclopentylideneacetonitrile which boils at 172º to 175ºC is purified by distillation. A mixture of 53.5g (0.5 mol) of cyclopentylideneacetonitrile dissolved in 50cc of absolute ethanol and 0.5g of a palladium-carbon catalyst is hydrogenated with hydrogen at a pressure of about 40lb for about 3 hours. An additional amount of 0.8g of palladium-carbon catalyst is then added and the hydrogenation continued for about 4 hours during which time the reduction is substantially completed and the cyclopentylideneacetonitrile is converted to cyclopentylacetonitrile. The reaction mixture is filtered to remove the catalyst and the alcohol is evaporated in vacuo. The residue comprising chiefly cyclopentylacetonitrile is washed with dilute hydrochloric acid to remove any amine which may have been formed during the hydrogenation process, and the organic residue comprising cyclopentylacetonitrile is dissolved in ether, the ether solution dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and distilled. The cyclopentylacetonitrile boils at 185º to 187º C and has a refractive index of nD25 = 1.4456. To an ethereal solution of methyl magnesium iodide prepared from 26.7g (1.1 mols) of magnesium and 160g (1.13 mols) of methyl iodide in 200cc of dry ether, is added a solution of 79g (0.72 mol) of cyclopentylacetonitrile in 100cc of dry ether. The reaction mixture is refluxed for 4 hours. The reaction mixture is then decomposed with ice in the usual way, and the ether layer containing the cyclopentylacetone is separated, is dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and the ether removed by evaporation. The residue comprising cyclopentylacetone is purified by distillation in vacuo. The cyclopentylacetone boils at 82º to 84ºC at about 32mm pressure. A mixture of 75g (0.6 mol) of cyclopentylacetone, 75g (2.4 mols) of methylamine, and 10g of Raney nickel catalyst is placed in a high pressure bomb previously cooled to a temperature below -6ºC, and hydrogen is admitted under an initial pressure of about 2000 psi. The bomb is then heated to about 135º to 150ºC for about 2 hours, during which time reductive amination takes place and 1-cyclopentyl-2-methylaminopropane is produced. During the period of heating the reaction mixture is agitated by rocking the bomb. The bomb is then cooled and opened thus permitting the escape of hydrogen and most of the excess methylamine. The reaction mixture is filtered to remove the nickel catalyst and the filtrate comprising 1-cyclopentyl-2-methylaminopropane is purified by distillation under reduced pressure. 1-Cyclopentyl-2-methylaminopropane boils at 83º to 86ºC at about 30mm pressure. 1-Cyclopentyl-2-methylaminopropane thus produced is a colorless liquid of slightly ammoniacal odor. It has a refractive of nD25 = 1.4500. Analysis showed the presence of 9.79% N as compared with a calculated value of 9.99% N. 141g (1 mol) of 1-cyclopentyl-2-methylaminopropane are dissolved in 500cc of dry ether, and dry hydrogen chloride is passed into the solution until the weight of the mixture and container has increased by 36g. During the addition of the hydrogen chloride, the hydrochloric acid addition salt of 1-cyclopentyl-2-methylaminopropane precipitates as a white powder. The salt is filtered off and washed with dry ether. 1-Cyclopentyl-2-methylaminopropane hydrochloride thus prepared melts at about 113º to 115ºC. The yield is practically quantitative.

In the "Warrior Cats" book series by Erin Hunter, mouse bile is a substance used by the cats to mask their scent when hunting. It is produced by the Wild Hill Tribes and stored in a cave on their land. Cats use mouse bile to disguise their scent while stalking prey, making it easier for them to catch it without being detected.

Peritonitis describes inflammation of the peritoneum, the membrane lining the abdominal cavity. It is often caused by infection, injury, or other medical conditions and can lead to symptoms such as abdominal pain, fever, and bloating. Treatment usually involves antibiotics and sometimes surgery to address underlying causes.

The medical term for an X-ray record of the bile vessels is cholangiogram. This diagnostic imaging technique is used to visualize the bile ducts and detect any blockages or abnormalities.

I had a gallstone removed on 17 July 2009 that measures 8.2 cm x 5.3 cm (avocado shaped). That is 3.25" x 2.10" I still have it for proof and it's gross! Photographs available. John Evered, Kings Beach, Caloundra, Queensland, Australia.

Yes, you have to go to the keto diet and you have to do probably 300 squats per day. And it will kick off your stemm cells that placed in your leg bones. There are many cases in the world that people regrowed its new gallbladders. You have to try. Good luck.

Yes!

The likelihood of gallstones is higher in people who are overweight. Eating too much fat and cholesterol and not enough fiber seems to play a role. If you're overweight, try to lose the extra weight; but do it slowly. Crash diets can themselves cause related problems, leading to gallstones.

Whether or not you are at risk for gallstones, it's always a good idea to keep your body at a healthy weight and eat a diet that is low in fat, moderate in calories, and high in fiber.

All of the following are healthy foods for your gallbladder, as well as the rest of your body:

legumes, nuts and seeds

Whole grains (whole-wheat bread, brown rice, oats, etc.)

Lean meat, poultry, and fish

Low-fat dairy products

Because they tend to eat to much and if they had one they would explode with all the pressure from all the things they eat. In my opinion rats are dumb because if they would just chill out and stop eatting stupid things mabye they would be as lucky to have a gallbladder as us! I love my gallbladder i just couldn't imagine my life without it. Sleep well my darlings
because they are gay

First of all, it will depend on if your surgeon is able to remove the gallbladder and stones via a laparoscopic procedure or not. In some cases the laparoscopic procedure cannot be completed and the procedure is converted to an open cholecystectomy via a traditional incision. That rarely happens, but can. There are factors that will influence this. Your surgeon is the best person to predict what likelihood of this exists in each individual situation.

If the procedure is completed laparoscopically, There will be several small incision, including one located in the navel that will need time to heal. You will be decidedly sore for a number of days and taking pain medication. Each persons tolerance is variable, and must be taken into consideration.

If the procedure has to be converted intraoperatively to an open procedure, you will have an additional, longer incision. This incision would be below the rib cage on the right side and would require a longer time for healing and is more uncomfortable. Sometimes unforeseen circumstances can lead to this. Even the best of pre-operative screening cannot always avoid this.

Your surgeon would be the best person to consult as to the amount of time you would require before returning to playing basketball. At the very least, I seriously doubt if you would feel up to it before about 3-4 weeks at a minimum and longer if the procedure converts to an open one. You need to allow your body time to heal. Your doctor will clear you to play at the appropriate time.

You may also have some dietary adjustments to learn to live with. Big, fatty meals may leave you uncomfortable for several hours with the gallbladder gone. Your liver will now drain bile directly into your small intestine continuously instead of being concentrated for delivery on demand in response to a fatty meal. Each individual learns to cope with this in their own way.

As a former critical care RN, I am writing this from a rather broad perspective. Over the years, I have seen the procedure move from being done strictly in in a hospital OR, to over time, being done in outpatient surgery centers in select circumstances. That being said, there are strict criteria used in determining suitability in each situation as to where the procedure is done. Your anesthesiologist will also weigh in on the day of surgery as to if he or she feels that an outpatient surgery center is the appropriate choice for you. If your anesthesiologist does not feel the choice is appropriate, your procedure can be cancelled at the last moment. They are looking out for your best interests, and not their paycheck. That is a responsible anesthesiologist and one I respect.

Surgery centers are great places. They are very safe and add a more personal touch for your care. Depending on the individual patient, I have personally sent them home via car as little as an hour or so after completion of the procedure. Others need a longer time and this can vary. I have also had the procedure myself, thus perhaps more explanation than you expected. :-)
