CPT Code 80076- Hepatic function panel.
The hepatic cecum is part of the digestive tract. It apparently functions both to secrete digestive juices and to help absorb nutrients from the food. "Hepatic" means it relates to the liver. Although Starfish do not have a liver, the hepatic cecum may be similar to the liver of vertebrates.
The proper hepatic artery supplies the liver and gall bladder
Joins the two-way cystic duct to form the common bile duct
In human anatomy, the hepatic veins are the veinsthat drain de-oxygenated blood from the liverinto the inferior vena cava.
The top tube used for a hepatic function panel is typically a gold or tiger top tube. These tubes contain a gel separator and clot activator, which help separate serum from the blood cells and promote clotting. They are used to collect blood samples for liver function tests as they preserve the serum for analysis.
