Liver

Transcript: By: Haley Johnson and Bogdan Vitoc The Liver is located in the right abdominal cavity and below the lungs and diaphragm. The liver has many different functions such as: Producing bile, which helps in the breakdown of glucose Converting glucose to a form of starch used for storing energy that can be coverted back to glucose if more energy is required. This is called glycogen. Breaking down insulin among with other hormones when needed. Storing many vitamins and minerals such as Vitamin A, D, and B12 and iron and copper for an average of a years supply. Producing amino acids which are the basic compound of protien which in turn is the basic compound of cells. It is important for the liver to break down insulin becuase isulin is a hormone that is sent by the brain to tell the body how much glucose to absorb. Whenever enough insulin is released it the flow needs to be stoped and when the liver kicks in. Insulin also tells the liver how much glucose to convert into glycogen and how much to store. The bile is produced by the hepatocytes or liver cells and is then sent into thin channels called canaliculi which drain into bigger ones and so on untill it eventually enters the gallbladder, from where it goes into the intetestines. The bile also helps eliminate cholesterol. The hepatocytes are assembled into rope like structures sperated by sinusoids (smaller blood conduits). The liver is the largest glandular organ in the body weighing an average of 3 pounds. The right lobe is approximatly 6x larger than the left lobe which is flatter and the two are divided by a coronary ligament. They both contain thousands of tiny lobulus. The liver is a victim of many different types of diseases such as: Liver cancer is the third most widespread cancer in the world. even though it usually doesn't originate in the liver itself, it can cause many serious problems such as causing the liver to completly fail. Gallstones are like kidney stones but in the gallbladder. They can block the normal flow of bile which can cause inflamation in the liver and gallbladder. Liver failure is another issue that can ultimately lead to coma and even death. Cirrhosis is the final stage of liver disease and can cause kidney failure, liver failure, bleeding disorders, mental confusion and more.

Liver

Transcript: The Liver!! Some of the functions are: to produce substances that break down fats, convert glucose to glycogen, produce urea (the main substance of urine), make certain amino acids (the building blocks of proteins), filter harmful substances from the blood, storage of vitamins and minerals (vitamins A, D, K and B12) and maintain a proper level or glucose in the blood. The liver weighs about 3lbs‼ Made of the right and left lobe, the caudate and quadate lobes, hepatic artery and portal vein, hepatic lymph nodes, and gall bladder. The liver belongs to the hepatobiliary system Gross, Eh? Some liver disorders include: hepatitis, cirrhosis, liver tumours..

Transcript: Structure of the Liver The liver is composed of four sections called lobes. The two main lobes are the right and left. The two smaller lie behind the much larger right lobe. Each lobe is made up of small multisided units called lobules. Most livers have between 50,000 and 100,000 lobules. What is a lobule? Each lobule consists of a central vein that is surrounded by small liver cells. These lobules are the workforce of the liver. There are small cavities known as sinusoids that create the spongy texture of the liver.This enables it to hold massive amounts of blood! Where is the liver? Functions of the Liver The liver has many functions, which include production of bile. Bile is important because it helps carry wastes away and it breaks down fats in the small intestine during digestion. The liver also helps with production of certain proteins for blood plasma, as well as cholestorol and special proteins to help carry wastes through the body. The liver also helps convert glucose into glycogen for storage. Glycogen can be later converted back to glucose for more energy. The liver helps form the building blocks of amino acids by regulating blood levels. The liver stores iron, so it helps with the breakdown of hemoglobin to iron. The liver converts posionous amonia to urea. (Urea is an end product of metabolism and is excreted in the urine). It also clears the body of drugs, alcohol and other posionous substances. The liver regulates blood clotting. It helps in resisting infections by producing immune factors and removing bacteria from the bloodstream. How does the liver do its job? The liver is one of the largest and heaviest organs in the body. In adults, it weights around three pounds. The function of the liver is directly correlated with the delivery of nutrients and processing of wastes in the body every day. Everything we eat is digested in the stomach and small intestine, but before digestion is completed, it has to pass through the liver. The liver acts as a sieve. It changes the chemical components of the materials flowing through the liver into usable nutrients or flushable waste. Disorders of the Liver Liver Cirrhosis Liver Cirrhosis is considered to be the fourth stage of Alcoholic Liver Disease. Cirrhosis is characterized by the replacement of healthy liver tissue with fibrous tissue, regenerative nodules and liver scarring. This hardens the liver and makes it difficult for blood circulation, which leads to irreversible liver damage and a total loss of liver function. During the beginning stages of Liver Cirrhosis, many people will experience no symptoms; however, the more advanced the disease gets, people experience a wide array of symptoms ranging from: abdominal pain bleeding from engorged veins in the esophagus or intestines dark cola-colored urine easy bruising itchy hands and feet nausea other system malfunctions such as impotence, kidney failure and osteoporosis increased blood pressure in veins that carry blood from the abdominal organs to the liver (portal hypertension) small, spider-like blood vessels under the skin swelling of legs and feet weakness yellowing of skin and eyes (jaundice) Treament of Liver Cirrhosis Liver Cirrhosis can be treated four ways. 1. Prevention of any further damage (if it is caught early) eating a balanced diet, avoiding drugs and alcohol, including ibuprofen, blood removal to reduce iron levels, immunization of hepatitis A and B 2. Treating the complications of Cirrhosis lower pressure in the portal veins using a beta blocker, surgical operations to create a shunt 3. Preventing the disease/detecting it early Hepatitis B and C screenings, the downfall to this is that screening options are so low and not always effective, identifying no better than 50% of cancer in its curable stage 4. Liver Biopsy Cirrhosis is irreversible and often times, when diagnosed, symptoms continue to worsen and become difficult to treat. 80% of patients are alive after five years. Not everyone with Cirrhosis is a candidate for a liver transplant, and even the ones that are are put on a waiting list ranging anywhere from months to years Liver Cysts Liver cysts are also called hepatic cysts. A simple cyst is a thin-walled, fluid-filled cavity in the liver. In most cases, liver cysts are benign and pose no health risks but they may grow large enough to cause pain or discomfort in the upper right part of the abdomen. These cysts can also liver enlargement, bile duct infection, or blockage of the bile ducts. This causes the cyst itself to become infected. The symptoms of liver cysts are few and only become known in other types of testing, or by chance. The treatment for a liver cyst, once detected, is a drainage or removal of the cyst. Hepatitis Hepatitis is a gastroenterological disease, which is just a fancy way of saying inflammation of the liver. There are five different types of Hepatitis, ranging from Type A to Type G. In all types, the liver becomes inflamed and the cells are damaged.

Transcript: I liked... in depth understanding of the physical functioning of the liver rest: blood goes back to liver active: blood goes to muscles to enable them to move blood allows pain to be bearable and less debilitating: the ability to not tense up during pain. imbalance when emotion is excessive & prolonged by treating the organ, we can influence the emotion by treating emotion, we can influence the organ Helpful for Liver Detoxification Ensures smooth flow of Qi milk thistle: protects & improves liver function & increases bile production. cruciferous veggies: broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, cabbage: because they have lots of vitamins dandelion root: increases bile production There is no system or part of your body that does not depend to some extent on the function of your liver or that may not be adversely affected if your liver is unhealthy, under-functioning or toxic. Liver jobs 1.Creates bile 2. Stores vitamins & minerals 3. Builds muscle 4. Regulates energy 5. Maintains hormonal balance 6. Body filter 7. Processing Drugs 8. Having a clear mind preservatives sugar pollution toxic chemicals (household products, lawn fertilizer, etc.) preventative medicine easily understandable relationships emotions are relevant: does not think in terms of body/mind seperation The liver rarely complains. It just keeps performing its many functions the best it can. That is why liver disease can progress for years before its noticed. In fact, in most cases of liver disease, the first clues that something is wrong are virtually imperceptible. It is often when the liver is on the verge of collapse and can no longer perform its duties that its deterioration becomes apparent. No matter how effective an alternative therapy claims to be, it should never be substituted for proven medical therapies. Explore and research a lot and in all sorts of different places. Don't narrow your research to one particular medical system or modality. Other Alternative Medicines planning our life, direction in life liver blood flourishing: thereal soul is firmly rooted and can help us to plan our life with wisdom and vision. You just might be the smartest person for your own health research, because your body is amazingly smart and you are your body. Opens into the Eye Views of the Liver Cross-Culturally I liked... Controls the Sinews Houses the Ethereal Soul Anger = the suppression of being Stores Blood Western Medicine Don't assume they are right just because they sound like they know what they're talking about. Chinese Medicine Important Things I've Learned... When patients lack the confidence to conquer illness, they allow their spirits to scatter and wither away. They let their emotions take control of their lives. They spend their days drowned in desires and worries, exhausting their essence and qi and spirit. of course, then, even with all these other modalities, the disease will not be cured Chinese medicine does not presuppose a dualistic separation of mind and body, nor does it typically make a categorical distinction between psychological and physical disorders. state of the sinews affects our capacity for movement & physical activity abundant: eyes normally moist, vision good deficient: blurred vision, colour blindness, dry & gritty feeling. It has been medically proven that psychological and moral support can help people get better faster and can help them live longer lives. Bad things If the liver is impaired, the Qi is impaired
