FEEDBACK : after 1 week...15july to 22 july

when i started this old style of mine , for preparation , i knew it was going to work but even then , i had some gross doubts about its success at that time....but , thankfully, its working , atleast to some,rather, to much , extent ...
for example, yesterday , i wasted whole day in that i did nothing new...and at the end of the day , to fill in the work column , i had to write teh topic "AIDS" again...but certainly , i didnt want to write it again...and so, though i was dead tired and my eyes were aching and also i was not so at peace and some things were still disturbing me , but i was determined to do a new topic and i did that ...!
so , after stupidly searchign for nostradamus , bible code and forrest gump , i finally resolved that it was time to study something new before i go to bed , no matter how much tired i was...and so , i learnt "POLIO VIRUS"...

MORAL : I am the same girl....though i am entangled between somethings which disturb me, but i am the same determined girl when it comes to prove myself....and i am happy to rediscover my that self and that confidence back...
strange it is to me as well, that now again , i have the same yearn to keep other things aside and revise a new topic everyday....because i have to put my maximum effort into it...and i have to get my goal in the first chance...i dont want to waste any more years in that...

when papa mama are determined to help me in studies , i should be determined to give them results....perhaps , that will be the only form by which i can show them how much thankful and proud i am of having them by my side and for being the BESTTTT and the MOST UNDERSTANDING PARENTS EVER IN THIS WORLD...

HELP ME IN MY EFFORTS , DEAR GOD !

blood supply to liver:
1. aorta --> directly gives rise to HEPATIC ARTERY (oxygenated blood)--> branches --->each branch in portal triad ---> sinusoids
2. portal vein (i.e. , enterohepatic circulation)
superior mesenteric vein + splenic vein ----> PORTAL VEIN (deoxygenated blood from stomach , intestine, spleen , pancreas)(rich in monosaccharides, amino acids and hormones )(oxygen content is less )---->portal triad----> sinusoids

VENOUS DRAINAGE :
sinusoids---->central vein of lobule --->central veins unite to form bigger veins and ultimately form LEFT AND RIGHT HEPATIC VEINS ----> open into INFERIOR VENA CAVA----> right atrium of heart .

# sinusoids are lined by endothelial cells . between these endothelial cells and the neighbouring hepatocytes , their are certain spaces called as SPACE OF DISSE .
# few macrophage cells called Kupffer's cells are also found in between the endothelial cells .

DETAILS :

HEP. ARTERY AND PORTAL VEIN
! !
right branch left branch
!_______________!
enter liver
!
redivide to form segmental vessels
!
redivide to form interlobular vessels
!
ramifications open into hepatic sinusoids
( HERE , HEPATIC ARTERY BLOOD MIXES WITH PORTAL VENOUS BLOOD )
!
drain into interlobular veins
!
join to form sublobular veins
!
unite to form HEPATIC VEIN (right and left)
!
drain directly into inferior vena cava

Arrangement of hepatic veins :

in 2 groups :

upper lower

! !

has 3 large veins variable number of small veins right , left , middle which emerge through which emerge through lower part of upper part of groove for IVC and open directly CAVAL groove and open into IVC into IVC .

physiological lobes of liver :

1. RIGHT PHYSIOLOGICAL LOBE : has anterior and posterior segments .

2. LEFT PHYSIOLOGICAL LOBE : has medial and lateral segments

SURGICAL impotance : HEPATIC VEINS are INTERSEGMENTAL in their course .

# PORTAL TRIAD / HEPATIC TRIAD has branch of hepatic artery , branch of portal vein , and tributary of bile duct.

PORTA HEPATIS has hepatic ducts in front , then , going towards behind from forward , we have , hepatic artery and then , branches of portal vein .
