Term
Where is bile stored?
Definition
gallbladder
Term
Role of the gallbladder
Definition
storage & concentration of bile
Term
Role of the pancreas
Definition
-produce digestive enzymes & hormones
Term
What is the common hepatic duct?
Definition
carries bile from the liver
Term
What is the cystic duct?
Definition
branches off the common hepatic duct carrying bile to the gallbladder
Term
What is the common bile duct?
Definition
carries bile from gallbladder to the duodenum
Term
What is the pancreatic duct?
Definition
carries pancreatic products to duodenum
Term
What is the ampulla of vater?
Definition
brings pancreatic juices to the duodenum
Term
What is the sphincter of Boyden?
Definition
regulates bile release from gall bladder into the ampulla of Vater
Term
What is the pancreatic sphincter?
Definition
regulates pancreatic juice release from pancreas into ampulla of vater
Term
What is the sphincter of Oddi?
Definition
regulates bile & pancreatic juice release from ampulla of vater into duodenum
Term
What species do not have a gallbladder?
Definition
horses & rats
Term
Why is bile important?
Definition
fat digestion
absorption of ADEK
Term
How does the gall bladder concentrate bile?
Definition
active transport of Na, Cl & bicarb across the lateral membrane into the intercellular space

-water moves passively via aquaporins
Term
How does the histology of the gall bladder vary between species? From other GIT accessory organs?
Definition
ruminant gall bladder does NOT have glands

no muscularis mucosa
no submucosa
Term
How can you tell that you're looking at the mucosa of gall bladder tissue?
Definition
will see very tall simple columnar epithelium
no goblet cells
no muscualaris mucosa
Term
What does the islet of langerhans do?
Definition
secrete insulin & glucagon
Term
How is the pancreas both endocrine & exocrine?
Definition
endocrine - islets of langerhans produce glucagon & insulin

exocrine - produces digestive secretions & releases into duodenum
Term
If you are seeing centroacinar cells, what tissue are you looking at?
Definition
exocrine pancreas
Term
If you are seeing islets of langerhans, waht tissue are you looking at?
Definition
endocrine pancreas
Term
What do centroacinar cells do?
Definition
secrete bicarbonate ions into pancreatic fluid to neutralize SI contents
Term
Describe the ductwork of the pancreas
Definition
Centroacinar
Intercalated
Intralobular
Interlobular
Main pancreatic
Duodenum
Term
What type of cells does silver stain identify in the islets of langerhans?
Definition
A cells (appear black)
Term
What type of cells does immmunofluorescence indentify in the islets of langerhans?
Definition
red = beta cells (insulin)
green = alpha cells (glucagon)
blue = nucleus
Term
