Liver Anatomy
The liver is closely associated with this organ
What is the gallbladder?
This is lined by fenestrated epithelium
What is a sinusoid?
The stored form of sugar is
What is glycigen?
Nervous system function that sends nerve impulse to the spinal cord is called
What is transmission?
What number cranial nerve is the wandering nerve that leaves the head
What is cranial number X?
This vessel brings in 80% of oxygen to the liver
What is the portal vein?
These carry bile from hepatocytes to bile ducts in the triads
What is bile canuliculi or bile canals?
These vitamins are stored and activated by the liver
What are vitamins A, B, C, D, E K
The two divisions of the nervous system are
Autonomic and somatic nervous systems
Somatic nervous systems is mainly responsible for these two functions
What are motor and sensory?

What is the stomach and the small intestine?
This protein is created by the liver and maintains oncotic pressure
What is albumin?
Ammonia crossing the Blood Brain Barrier can result in this serious neurologic condition
What is hepatic encephalopathy?
Under sympathetic nervous system, nerve fibers exit the spinal cord in this region
What is the thoracolumbar region?
This convergence of nerves causes problems in cats and can make it impossible to extend the carpus, leaving the cat with a "flexed" carpus
What is the brachial plexus?
Hepatic cords, central vein and portal triad make up this structure
What is a lobule?
Once bile is released into the duodenum, the majority continues to this part of the small intestine
What is the ileum?
Oral drugs can be activated or deactivated by the liver. The scientific term for this is called
What is biotransformation?
Glial cells in the CNS are called
What are oligodendrocytes?
Glial cells in the peripheral nervous system are called
What are Schwann cells?
These three things make up the portal triad
What is the branch of the portal vein, hepatic artery, and hepatic bile duct?
These cells serve as the immune system of the liver
What are kupffer cells?
This hormone triggers the liver to release its stored form of sugar back to glucose into the blood stream
What is glucagon?
A nerve impulse that runs from peripheral nerves to the spinal cord is considered
What is senory nerves?
A nerve impulse that travels from the brain to a peripheral nerve is called
What is motor (movement)?
