What is the normal size of woman liver age 57?
The normal size of a woman's liver can vary, but on average, it is typically around 6 to 7 inches (15 to 18 centimeters) in length and about 8 to 10 inches (20 to 25 centimeters) wide. At age 57, factors such as overall health, body size, and individual variations can influence liver size. It's important to consult a healthcare professional for specific assessments and measurements.
Which of these are found in a liver cell large central vacuole chloroplast cellulose cell wall?
the answer is D
Yes, one of the functions of hepatocytes is to convert toxic substances and waste products to forms that are less harmful and/or can be easily excreted from the body.
Liver diseases related to oral cavity?
No, because oral has to do with the mouth and liver ,well has to do with the liver.
Where are liver secretions stored?
Primary secretion of the liver is the raw secretion of substances by hepatocytes into the bile canaliculi. This kind of secretion has not yet been modified by the epithelial cells lining the bile ducts, which normally increase the amount of bicarbonate ions in the primary secretion as it passes by.
A similar kind of primary secretion is that which is released by the end pieces of the salivary glands, which is later modified by epithelial cells lining the salivary ducts.
The fact that the tumor is relatively large and that it has spread to another organ, are both bad signs. Most benign (i.e., not malignant) tumors are self contained, and by their nature, do not tend to spread rapidly.
What is the best doctor to treat bed sores?
Usually the best health care professional is a "Wound Care Specialist". This a nurse with extensive experience on addressing the issues of wound care resulting from extended illness in bed. Call local hospital and talk with a "discharge planner" on how to find one. Or a home care agency. Perhaps a doctor who specializes in long term care, the elderly or the disabled who are bed or wheel chair bound. As an RN I have had quite a bit of experience with bed sores which generally happen due to poor circulation and poor nutrition Suggestions: improve nurtrition (Protein, fresh vegetables, fruits..if person does not feel like eating serve in very small meals,attractively presented, or juice vegetables, Green algae is excellant puchased at health food stores) and vitamin supplements, coat area with yogart that has LIVE, ACTIVE cultures (porbiotics). Get person off area if at all possible, supporting them with lots of pillows so they can comfortably stay on side, change position every several hours. apply thick coating of zinc oxide or castor oil can be healing and helpful, need fluffed up 4x4s gauze squares to hold in place. clease with betadine (get cheaper bottle at Target, etc) daily. have hook neck lamp with small wattage bulb directed to area 1 to 2 times a day for 10 to 20 minutes. BE REALLY CAREFUL YOU HOLD IT SO IT DOES NOT BURN THEM. Gently massage around area to improve circulation. Keep up your courage and appreciate yourself with tenderness of just how difficult this all is.
What does the liver do after digestion?
vhere are depictions of male masturbation in prehistoric rock paintings around the world. Most early people seem to have connected human sexuality with abundance in nature. A clay figurine of the 4th millennium BC from a temple site on the island of Malta, depicts a woman masturbating.[1] However, in the ancient world depictions of male masturbation are far more common.
From the earliest records, ancient Sumer had a relaxed attitude toward sex, and masturbation was a popular technique for enhancing potency, either alone or with a partner.[2][3]
Male masturbation became an even more important image in ancient Egypt: when performed by a god it could be considered a creative or magical act: the god Atum was believed to have created the universe by masturbating to ejaculation, and the ebb and flow of the Nile was attributed to the frequency of his ejaculations. Egyptian Pharaohs, in response to this, were at one time required to masturbate ceremonially into the Nile.[4]
The ancient Indian Hindu text Kama Sutra explains in detail the best procedure to masturbate; "Churn your instrument with a lion's pounce: sit with legs stretched out at right angles to one another, propping yourself up with two hands planted on the ground between in them, and it between your arms".[5]
The ancient Greeks had a more relaxed attitude toward masturbation than the Egyptians did, regarding the act as a normal and healthy substitute for other forms of sexual pleasure. They considered it a safety valve against destructive sexual frustration. The Greeks also dealt with female masturbation in both their art and writings. One common term used for it was anaphlan, which roughly translates as "up-fire".
Diogenes, speaking in jest, credited the god Hermes with its invention: he allegedly took pity on his son Pan, who was pining for Echo but unable to seduce her, and taught him the trick of masturbation in order to relieve his suffering. Pan in his turn taught the habit to young shepherds.[6]
What is the excretory product other than urea formed by liver?
In addition to urea, the liver produces bilirubin as a result of the recycling of red blood cells. The bilirubin is excreted through bile.
How long do you have to abstain from moderate alcohol consumion to let your liver regenerate?
I don't know what you mean by "regenerate," because human organs do not regenerate themselves. If your liver is functioning normally, the time it will take to let it recover is directly proportional to the stress it's been subjected to by metabolizing alcohol, which depends on your body size, how much and how often you drink. If you have scarring of the liver (cirrhosis), though, this is irreversible and you would be wise to stop drinking altogether because cirrhosis leads to complete liver failure. A good rule of thumb is: If you suspect that you are damaging your liver, you might want to cut back.
Which section of the small intestine receives secretions from the liver and the pancreas?
The duodenum
Without operations broken liver can cured-?
Broken liver cannot be cured without conducting an operation.
What role does the liver play in defending our bodies from poisonous substances?
It breaks down amino acids and proteins
Is yellow urine is caused due to liver problem?
No yellow urine is not caused from liver problems it is caused when your urea which is located inside your bladder has little water.If you drink more glucose (sugar) and not enough water it can cause your urine to become yellow.It has nothing to do with liver problems. if that was the case everyone in the world would have liver problems.
Where is the liver locate in your body?
It is located in theupper-right hand of abdominal cavity. It is beneath the diaphragm, and on the top of stomach. Posted By Samantha Wasinee Seeboonruang
What is the effects of liver cancer in organism?
many living things will have this disease maybe getting die
Where in your body is your liver?
Your liver is almost right in the middle between your lungs and your stomach.
4 Why are patients with cirrhosis of the liver prone to developing upper gastrointestinal bleeding?
Because the blood coming through the portal vein cannot pass through the liver, it takes bypass routes (distended veins called varices) which happen to lie in the esophagus and stomach, where they may be eroded by stomach acid or swallowing abrasive stuff and bleed. Often such is bleed is catastrophic because their blood also clots less well, because the liver is in too bad a condition to make enough clotting factors.
What age group is impacted by a type of liver cancer called hepatoblastoma?
One type of primary liver cancer, called a hepatoblastoma, usually occurs in children younger than four years of age and between the ages of 12 and 15.
Anatomical term The liver is to the ---- of the stomach?
The correct anatomical term is \"The liver is to the right of the stomach\". It is the largest internal organ.
How many jobs does the liver do?
What does the liver do? The liver performs over 500 different functions! In fact it is so important that we cannot live without our liver. Maybe if you become a medical doctor you will learn all about them but right now we are going to look at the main things that the liver does. Let's look at the main three Your liver acts as a chemical processing factory to change most of the food that you eat into stuff that your body can use, and it gets rid of the things that are no use or are toxic (this word which means harmful to your body.) # Your liver makes bile which travels from the liver into the small intestine
Bile is a digestive juice which helps the body absorb fat from the gut into the bloodstream. The liver makes this thick, yellow-green substance then stores it in the gall bladder until the body needs some to digest fats.
# Your liver cleans your blood
Your liver takes toxins out of your blood. These may have been made by your body when breaking down proteins (say pro-teens), or been brought into your body through breathing or ingesting (say in-jest-ing) (this means taking into your body) something like alcohol, drugs or other harmful substances.
Your liver sorts things out and changes them chemically into what your body can use and turns what can't be used into something that dissolves in blood so that it can be carried to the kidneys. For example the liver makes urea (say you-rear) from parts of proteins that can't be used. It is poisonous so the body has to remove it. Blood collects this urea from the liver and sends it to the kidneys. They filter urea from the blood and it is then expelled from the body as waste in your urine. (See 'Your waste disposal system' if you want to know more about this.)
If you drink too much alcohol for a long time it can damage the liver so badly that it cannot do its job. This is called cirrhosis (say si-row-sis).
# Your liver makes and stores fuel
Your liver makes glucose from carbohydrates (say car-bow-hi-drates) that you eat, such as ones in bread, fruit and dairy products. Some of this glucose travels in blood to the rest of the body where it is used for energy.
Some of the glucose is stored in the liver as glycogen (say gly-co-jen) and it is there until your body needs to use extra energy, like when you have to run fast, react quickly or have to work your body hard for a long time.
It also helps to keep blood sugar at the right levels.
How does alcohol damage the liver?
It causes fatty tissue to build up in the liver, it suppresses enzymes needed to break down toxins in the body, and it causes scar tissue to form inside the liver (cirrhosis).
Why can the liver regenerate itself when none of the other major organs can?
The simplest explanation of "why" holds that natural selection has evolved an organ that is so critical to the body's functioning that, were it to fail, death would result.
Given the liver's criticality, and the fact that the body possesses a single liver, the liver also evolved the ability to regenerate. Mechanically complex organs (the heart) have not so far evolved such regenerative ability - perhaps natural selection can only go so far.
The clue to the liver's ability is homeostasis - "feedback" mechanisms that preserve function. Think of blood sugar - it has a desirable concentration which is regulated within narrow limits by insulin (to preserve the upper limit) and metabolisation of body fat and protein (to preserve the lower limit).
Now that we know "why", the answer for "none of the others can" - better asked as "none of the others were driven to" - is given by the existence of paired organs (lungs, kidneys, so we have a backstop), mechanical complexity (heart, too difficult) or "you-only-get-really-sick-and-die-but-it-often-happens-after-your-reproductive-peak" (pancreas, where diabetes can be survived for many years).
Remember that natural selection gets an organism to the point where it can reproduce - it "doesn't care" about old age - regrettably.
Medical descriptions.The liver is composed of a certain type of cells with increased ribosomal density, which mean the liver is the body's filter. We are all born with stem cells which are one of three types, Totipotent, pluripotent, or multipotent. The majority of stem remaining in humans after differtiaiton is multipotent cells, which have the tendency to become liver cells, so when lacking, the liver "recruits" some undiffertiated stem cells to become liver cells, and repair the liver.
The liver can precisely regulate its growth and mass. Surgical resection of hepatic lobes or hepatocyte loss caused by viral or chemical injury triggers hepatocyte replication while enlarged liver mass is corrected by apoptosis. Hepatocytes have a great replicative capacity and are capable of repopulating the liver. However, "stem-like" cells proliferate when hepatocyte replication is blocked or delayed. Detailed studies of the mechanisms that regulate liver growth have been done in animals subjected to partial hepatectomy or chemical injury. Substantial progress has been achieved using appropriate transgenic and knockout mouse models for this work. Gene expression in the regenerating liver can be divided into several phases, starting with expression of a large number of immediate early genes. Hepatocytes need to be primed before they can fully respond to the growth factors HGF (Hepatocyte Growth Factor), TGFα (Transforming Growth Factor Alpha), and EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor) in vitro. Priming requires the cytokines TNF and IL-6 in addition to other agents that prevent cytotoxicity. Reactive Oxygen Species and glutathione content can determine whether the TNF effect on hepatocytes is proliferative or apoptotic. At least four transcription factors, NFκB, STAT3 (which are strongly induced by TNF), AP-1 and C/EBPβ play major roles in the initiation of liver regeneration.
it is apparent that liver regeneration involves the interplay of mitogens and comitogens ,paracrine and autcrine process and cellular communications and miscommunications.there is no single instead group of events causes liver cell regeneration
It is approximately 21-22.5 cm across its widest point, 15-17.5 cm at its greatest vertical height, and 10-12.5 cm from front to back.
