involves a complication in the liver which cause the loss of liver cells and irreversible scarring of the liver. Some of the common causes of the Cirrhosis is the abuse of alcohol fatty liver disease, viral hepatitis B and C. Other possible causes that cause Cirrhosis are Iron buildup in the body, Cystic fibrosis, Copper accumulated in the liver, poorly formed bile ducts, inherited disorders of sugar metabolism and Infection such as Schistosomiasis. Cirrhosis does not show very often signs or symptoms

1) What are the Hepatic Ducts and what do they do? The Hepaticduct that carries bile from the liver into the common bile ductwhich conveys it to the duodenum (the upper part of the small intestine).(Webmd) 2) What do Kupffer Cells do and where are they found?kupffer cells are located in the liver. and they remove bacteria from the inner lining of the hepatic sinusoid. (Webmd) 3) What is “Bile” and why is it important? Bile is a digestive juice secreted by the liver and stored in the gallbladder;

impaired mental functioning. Incidence. Biliary Stricture Biliary strictures can be benign or malignant, malignant strictures occur when the bile ducts are injured in some way, such as trauma during an operation. After the injury is sustained, the inflammatory process begins and collagen and fibrosis is deposited within the lumen of the bile duct causing it to narrow. Depending on the type of injury that is sustained, biliary strictures can be

elimination from the body. The hepatic ducts drain the bile out of the liver and form the common bile duct that drains the bile into the duodenum. The gallbladder is a sac attached to the undersurface of the liver. It has a folded interior and functions to concentrate and store the bile produced by the liver. When there is no chyme in the duodenum the sphincter muscles within the duodenum remain closed and the bile back up the common bile duct into the cystic duct that leads into the gallbladder

structure that can increase or decrease its surface area by the rugae and contain a rich quantity of digestive juice that breaks down large molecules Liver:- It is made up of two parts called lobes. The right and the left lobes are supplied by the hepatic artery and

following specific aims: 1. To determine the role of BDNF-TrKB signaling in hyponatremia through sustained AVP release during hepatic cirrhosis. 2. To understand the role of estrogen in preventing the chronic activation of vasopressin neurons in female bile duct ligated rats. These experiments will for the first time define the roles of BDNF-TrkB signaling in the hepatic cirrhosis induced sustained AVP release along with sex differences in the regulation of AVP release. An integrative approach will

Eventually, the pancreas cannot keep up with the body's need for insulin, and Type 2 diabetes develops as excess glucose builds up in the bloodstream. • Hepatic Encephalopathy - when the liver does not efficiently function to cleanse the body of toxins and drugs, the mental state of patients may change dramatically and lead to coma, called Hepatic Encephalopathy. Treatment is directed at reducing the protein in the diet, avoiding sedatives and pain medications, and using laxatives and/or

2016). Mr McGrath has 5 years past history of Alcoholic Cirrhosis in which there is irreversible scarring of the liver and ultimately preventing the liver from functioning properly. Complications of Cirrhosis such as Ascites, variceal bleeding, hepatic encephalopathy, jaundice, hypoxia, ecchymosis and high risk of infection are not uncommon with patients like Mr McGrath (Chalasani, 2013), (Robinson, 2016) and (Moore & Aithal, 2006). A liver transplant may be considered if initial treatment is ineffective

FORENSIC SCIENCE 3.1 [pic] The frontalis, orbicularis oris, laris oculi, buccinators and zygomaticus are muscles that are responsible for showing facial expressions such as surprise, anger, fear, disgust, amongst other emotions. The temporalis and the masseter muscle are responsible for chewing movements. The sterncleidomastoid and trapezius are neck muscles and can be associated with the throat. 3.2 The principal organs that comprise the nervous system are the brain, spinal
