liver and gallbladder. The swelling and stretching of these organs stimulate these fibers to produce abdominal pain. (Kathryn L. McCance, 2014) The gallbladder holds approximately 90ml of concentrated bile. Each day 700 to 1200 ml of bile is secreted and drained into the common bile duct and into the duodenum. (Kathryn L. McCance, 2014) As outlined earlier the blockage of the Sphincter of Oddi will cause all of this bile to be forced back up the common bile duct and into the gallbladder. The amount

Saunders Medical Center OR: Preceptor Day Nine This is my ninth clinical shift with my preceptor at Saunders Medical Center in Wahoo, NE, and it was on May 15, 2018 (Wednesday). Today I had the chance to work back in the OR. I had the choice to stay after my shift to place an IV in a treatment room patient, so I did as well.

Fatty liver occurs when fat is accumulated in the liver. When fat is built up in the liver it can cause swelling and irritation. If the symptoms are severe then this can possibly be fatal.

ACUTE CHOLECYSTITIS: EARLY VERSUS LATE LAPAROSCOPIC CHOLECYSTECTOMY. INTRODUCTION Gallbladder disease is a common surgical pathology and may present in an elective or an acute setting. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has become the gold standard management for symptomatic gallbladder disease. However, there are many concerns with regards to the implementation of this versatile technique for acute cholecystitis. Concerns centered on the anticipation of conversion to an open procedure and the increase

How the process of human digestion works is it starts with your mouth, the digestion starts as soon you take your first bite of your meal. When you chew it helps the process by making it easier for the food to digest. Also the saliva mixes with the food so that it can form it into something that the body can absorb and use.

In the human body, the human digestive system is used to process food one eats by digesting it into nutrients. The body use nutrients for energy, growth, and cell repair, which are needed for humans to survive. This digestive system encompasses a long tube that runs from the mouth to the anus. It contains structures and organs through which food and liquids pass as it is being processed into forms absorbable in the bloodstream. The digestive system also contains structures through which wastes pass

Gummy stones - Everything you need to know The gallbladder and bile ducts along with bile juice perform significant functions, including digestion and fat absorption and excretion of various metabolites from the liver. Gallstones are solid formations that are created from the components found in the bile juice. Gall juice is a yellowish-green liquid that contains bile acids, cholesterol, bilirubin, metals and other metabolites. Accordingly, we distinguish cholesterol (stones with cholesterol), bilirubin
