    Study Notes

    Digestive System

    • The primary function of the gallbladder is to store bile.
    • The main function of the pancreas is to produce digestive enzymes and hormones.

    Liver Functions

    • The liver is responsible for detoxifying many medications.
    • When the liver is busy dealing with alcohol, medication detoxification may be impaired.
    • The liver is responsible for synthesizing blood-clotting factors.
    • The liver plays a crucial role in the regulation of endocrine disorders.

    Pancreas Functions

    • The exocrine pancreas secretes digestive enzymes into the small intestine.
    • The main function of the exocrine pancreas is to aid in the digestion of food.
    • The endocrine pancreas releases hormones, such as insulin and glucagon, into the blood.

    Gallbladder and Pancreas Disorders

    • Gallstone formation is often caused by cholesterol imbalance in the bile.
    • Biliary reflux occurs when bile flows back into the stomach, causing symptoms such as nausea and vomiting.
    • Acute pancreatitis is characterized by inflammation of the pancreas, which can lead to autodigestion of the pancreatic tissue.
    • Chronic pancreatitis can lead to pancreatic insufficiency and diabetes.

    Liver Failure

    • Liver failure can lead to a decrease in kidney function, known as hepatorenal syndrome.
    • Liver failure can cause endocrine disorders, such as hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia.
    • Hepatic encephalopathy is a characteristic manifestation of liver failure, causing symptoms such as confusion and altered mental status.
    • Skin disorders, such as jaundice, can occur due to liver failure.
    • Liver failure can impede the synthesis of blood-clotting factors, leading to bleeding disorders.
