Liver

The liver primarily occupies the right upper quadrant of the abdomen and extends from the 5th intercostal space to the lower border of the rib cage. Its upper margin typically aligns with the 5th intercostal space in the midclavicular line, while its lower edge can extend as far down as the 10th intercostal space. However, the exact position can vary based on factors like individual anatomy and breathing.

The gallbladder is a small organ attached to the underside of the liver. It is here that bile is stored until it is required.

If the liver is pushed and overwhelmed with the work it needs to carry out, perhaps because of excessive hormonal demands or toxicity, it can become 'overheated'. This, in

turn, will deleteriously affect other organs and systems. The liver also instigates some hormonal processes and inactivates others; it plays a major role in the premenstrual phase, menstruation, menopause and other endocrine times for women. Men too have their own needs for liver and

hormone activities.

The digestive system functions to digest and absorb nutrients from the food ingested into the body. Additionally, the digestive system transports foodstuff through the gastrointestinal tract. The primary organs of the digestive system include the mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, and anal canal. Accessory organs that aid the primary organs include the teeth, salivary glands, tongue, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and appendix.

yes 1886

and also used it when winning the league in 1889 for the design on the medals and again in 1914,after the first world war all medals were the same not reflecting the team that won them

The kidneys are organs mostly involved in the excretion of waste from the body and the reabsorption of ions, water, glucose, etc. They play an important role in the regulation of blood pressure, pH and electrolytes as well as producing important hormones (such as erythropoietin which stimulates red blood cell production).

The liver is responsible for filtering toxins and waste products out of the blood, as well as producing bile (which aids in the digestion and absorption of fat). It also helps to recycle the products of red blood cell breakdown. The liver plays an important role in the storage of glycogen, fat, iron and copper.

Normal human livers are highly sensitive to insulin. Hepatocytes, or liver cells, have numerous insulin receptors on their surfaces which bind to insulin and then trigger glycogen synthesis, soaking up free glucose in the bloodstream and forming long polymer chains for later use as fuel. Studies have shown, however, that diabetic individuals have decreased sensitivity to insulin not only generally but also specifically in the liver, due partly to a decrease in the number of insulin receptors.

all are diploid except sperms and eggs

Although many can reduce the dosage of immunosuppressant drugs after the initial few months, virtually none can discontinue drugs altogether.

Inside the body you can - "spilt livers" (pieces of liver from adults) are regularly used for child's liver transplants, if a suitable size donor is not available. The piece of liver grows as the child grows, reaching a normal size. (But I don't know if the lobes appear in the same way that you would expect on a standard liver).

According to information found on the Mayo Clinic website, there are two types of fatty liver disease. One is nonalcoholic and is generally caused by obesity and a high fat diet (my words, not exactly the words used by Mayo Clinic but basically similar info).

It is common and usually does not cause harm. However, in SOME people, it can lead to liver failure.

Alcoholic fatty liver is a whole other animal. As long as the person continues to drink, it can definitely progress to liver failure, especially in heavy alcoholics. The liver can only process so much alcohol per day or even per hour before the liver is affected.

Your food, digestive system, liquids,solids, and gases are all found in the liver and your welcome for the answer.:)

They work well unless you drink alcohol. Basically a liver cell filters out substances taht can be harmful to the body, but alcohol and a number of other less popular substances severely damage the abilities of the liver cells over time.

All i really know about liver cells is that there also called hepatocytes. LFTs or liver function tests can be used to assess the functioning of the liver cells. I guess that they receive oxygen via diffision.

Masses or lumps in the liver and ascites can often be felt while the patient is lying flat on the examination table.

I'm assuming you mean the lower left quadrant. The liver is located on the right hand side of the body, just below the diaphragm. So, no it is not located in the LLQ. Hope that helps. :)

Capsule

Anything that they feel like. Liver disorders tend to make people not feel hungry, or feel slightly nauseous, so persuading them to eat anything is generally a victory. Trying to maintain a steady weight is important, since if a person becomes very ill with liver disease they tend to lose a lot of weight very quickly, which makes recovery longer and more difficult.

If you find that they are not able to maintain their normal bodyweight just through eating, it's worth discussing nutritional supplementation with their hepatologist. Usually this is in the form of specially formulated drinks (a little like milkshakes) - which are designed to be calorie dense but easily digestible.

Bloodshot eyes usually indicate an irritation of the eye from some cause, whether it be an allergen like smoke or pollen or a poke/rub from a finger, ect. The presence of the color yellow in the white portion of the eye is usually associated with a liver condition called "jaundice". Should this be the case, a more accurate test should be performed by a physician to determine it's cause.

Means you have several areas in your liver that isn't the same consistency as the rest. Can't figure out if "hypo" in this case means that they are denser or fluffier, but either way, the liver isn't the same through and through as it should be.

No,a digestive enzyme known as 'Pepsin' digests proteins.But yes,HCl is an acidic medium for 'Pepsin to work.Without HCl,our body cannot digest proteins.

What is the numbers forElevated liver function studies

mine are 790.4

No. It is very mildly acidic.

It may be a harmless cyst or it may be a malignant growth which is very serious.

Yes, in fact, donating a liver makes you live longer!
