A healthy 25-year old man dies in an automobile accident several hours after drinking large volumes of alcohol. At autopsy, the liver appears normal on gross inspection. On light microscopy, many cells mainly around the central veins, have clear (vacuolated) cytoplasm with an intact nucleus. Biochemical analysis of the liver would most likely show an excess of which of the following (A) Cholesterol esters (B) Glycogen (C). Lipofusion (D). Protein (E) Triglycerides

In areas where attacks are occurring, the inflammation can cause damage to the entire lining, so that the contents of the lumen of the intestine are exposed to, for example, the peritoneal cavity. Describe the layers that this inflammation would need to penetrate in order to damage the entire wall of the intestine. Inflammation begins at the epithelial lining.
