Gall bladder ( green ) in the human digestive system .
Gall bladder or gall bladder (English : the gallbladder ) is a pear-shaped organ that can store about 50 ml of bile that the body needs for digestion . In humans , the length of the gall bladder is about 7-10 cm and dark green - not because of the color of their network , but because of the color of the liquid bile contains. This organ connected to the liver and duodenum via the bile duct .
Bile .
Bile is an alkaline liquid that is bitter and yellowish green because they contain the pigment bilirubin , biliverdin , and urobilin , which is secreted by the liver hepatocytes in most vertebrates . Every day bile secreted by the liver as much as 500 - 1000cc where secretions runs continuously , the amount secreted increases when digesting fat . In some species , bile is stored in the gallbladder and released into the duodenum to aid in the digestion of food . An eggplant -shaped gallbladder and a muscular membrane , located in a side lobe of the liver below the surface until the edge of the front , 8-12 cm in length , with a capacity of 60 mL . Bile layer ( bag ) consists of the outer layer of the serous / parietal , bergariss muscle layer , the inner layer of mucous / visceral called mucous membranes .
The parts of the gallbladder :
1 . Fundus felea bladder , gallbladder part most end after bladder felea corpus .2 . Corpus felea bladder , part of which contains the gallbladder bile ( bile ) .
3 . Bladder neck , a neck of kantng bile duct is the first entry of bile into the gallbladder .
4 . Cystic duct , 3 cm in length running from the neck of the gall bladder and concatenated with the hepatic duct , common bile duct into the duodenum Markowitz .
5 . Hepatic duct , duct out of the neck .
6 . Keledokus duct , the ducts that carry bile to the duodenum .
The gallbladder is a small organ located near the middle of the stomach area of the body . Its main function is to store bile from the liver . Bile is a substance that aids in the digestion of fat , the fat is not soluble in water , so in order to emulsify fats needed something special . The liver produces bile and then stores it in the gallbladder until the body needs to digest fat . When the moment arrived , the gallbladder began to let the flow of bile into the intestine , in the duodenum , where fat is digested with the help and then absorbed by the organism .
While sitting in the gallbladder bile , water poured out of it through the gallbladder wall , makes bile more concentrated and therefore more effective . Bile also neutralize some of the acid found in certain foods . Just like any other organ in the body , can damage the gallbladder and cause disease .
In some people , usually women more than 40 years ,
( but there have been enough cases of men suffering from gall bladder as well ) , in which bile can crystallize into small stones , called gallstones .
Gallstones are made of salt , calcium and cholesterol , all put together in a small stone . These gallstones can cause several problems , starting with inflammation of the gall bladder and end up with severe pain and blockage . In three quarters of the gallbladder patients did not cause visible symptoms , but over a quarter of something that appears .
The most encountered symptoms of gallbladder disease ;
* Variable pain in the abdominal area .
Variable because this pain is sometimes easy , sometimes very badly , and sometimes long , sometimes , vomiting accompanied by high temperatures , yellowing of the skin and eyes , when gallstones block the flow of bile duct from the liver to gallbladder . Gallstones can leave the body alone , but in some cases they are stuck on the road and impede the flow of
bile . If this happens, surgery is needed . Gallbladder surgery is called cholecystectomy , and consists of a procedure that removes the gallbladder from the liver of the body and connects directly to the stomach , so that the bile does not pass anymore . This leads to digestion of fatty substances become less effective .
In the most unfortunate cases , complications lead to gallbladder cancer . This can happen if a person suffering from gallbladder disease have weight problems and also smoke and drink a lot .
Gallbladder cancer is a fatal disease , despite advanced surgical tehniquies trying to remove the majority of patients with gallbladder dead .
Gallbladder disease is in many cases almost harmless , but if you feel any of the symptoms you should visit a doctor and take his advice . Patients who have been operated to remove the gallbladder and was soon able to return to their normal lives , but they must pay attention to the amount of fat they eat , because without the gallbladder body can not handle the digestion of fatty substances into the well .
The pancreas lies behind the stomach , transversely behind the stomach . The pancreas is an organ that has a dual purpose , namely endocrine function (no channels , hormones are secreted directly into the blood stream ) and exocrine function ( have a channel to secrete digestive fluids through the pancreatic duct ) .
( 1 ) Digestion ( exocrine ) .
Pancreatic fluid is alkaline and neutralizes the acid of the stomach . This sap contains several enzymes that act as catalysts in the breakdown of complex materials into simpler materials which are then absorbed through the small intestine and into the blood vessels .( 2 ) Adjust blood sugar levels ( endocrine ) .
Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that plays a role in regulating blood glucose levels . Glucose is the principal energy used by the body .Disruption caused by the pancreas include ;
1 ) Diabetes mellitus .
Diabetes mellitus or known diabetes is a condition in which the pancreas fails to supply enough insulin to regulate blood sugar ( glucose ) . Increasingly insufficient insulin causes diabetes increasingly available can be fatal .
Eye and kidney complications usually the first affected if diabetes is not curable . This condition can occur in childhood or adulthood. Diabetic children are more difficult to cure and more serious . Insulin injections or oral administration and control diet hard is one form of diabetes care .
2 ) Hypoglycemia .
Hypoglycemia is a condition in which the pancreas insulin production so much that blood sugar levels become low . Various symptoms will appear as a result of low blood sugar levels . For example, the brain does not have a backup fuel because it depends on the material supplied by the blood . Hypoglycemia will reduce the efficiency of the brain . Sort it can be done through the diet ( food ) .
