Anatomy of the liver

Pathophysiology

Each of the hepatitis viruses cause similar liver damage. The inflammatory process is activated throughout the whole liver, and hepatocytes are destroyed by cytotoxic cytokines and natural killer cells, both parts of the inflammatory process. Cellular necrosis takes place. If inflammation affects the periportal areas, cholestasis, or the interruption of the flow of bile takes place. The liver is usually able to repair itself and regain complete function if no other complications occur.

-Helps process fats and proteins from digested food.

-Process medicines that people ingest

-Help remove or process alcohol, poisons and toxins from the body.
