What are the components of digestive juices?
Gastric acid.
What is the medical term meaning hard deposit formed in the gallbladder and bile ducts due to concretion of bile components?
That is called a gallstone.
Why is bile not considered an enzyme?
Bile is not considered an enzyme because it does not catalyze chemical reactions like enzymes do. Bile is a fluid produced by the liver that helps in the digestion and absorption of fats by emulsifying them, but it does not have enzymatic activity.
Why is function of bile is similar to soap?
Both are emulsifiers (both make fats and oils more soluble in water). ?Both are amphipathic molecules (they contain a polar end and a non-polar end). ?Bile helps the fat interact with the water during the process of digestion. The process is very much like washing dishes. One uses soap to help get rid of the oils (fat) off a greasy pan for instance.
What is the principle of hay's test?
Hay's test is a rapid qualitative test used to detect the presence of bile salts in the urine, which can indicate liver dysfunction or obstruction of bile flow. The principle of the test is based on the ability of bile salts to form a precipitate when mixed with sulfosalicylic acid, which results in a turbid appearance.
What is the definition of acute cholocystolithiasis?
Cholelithiasis refers to the formation of rock-like crystalline deposits (gallstones or biliary calculi) in the gallbladder. Development is insidious and may remain asymptomatic for years. The major component of most (approximately 85%) gallstones is cholesterol (cholesterol-predominant or "mixed" gallstones also containing calcium salts). These occur either as a solitary stone or multiple stones of varying sizes. Others stones (approximately 15%) are composed solely of calcium salts (calcium carbonate, calcium bilirubinate) or crystallized bile pigments (bilirubin). Pigment stones are more common in Asian than in Western populations. The gallbladder stores bile, a fluid that is produced in the liver to aid in the digestion of fats. Normal bile is sterile and contains a high level of cholesterol, which usually remains in liquid form. When the bile contains too much cholesterol and/or levels of cholesterol and lecithin are imbalanced, the bile becomes supersaturated. When this occurs, solid crystals of cholesterol and calcium salts form and settle out of the liquid bile creating sludge or gallstones. Other causes of cholelithiasis include production of bile that contains inadequate amounts of certain chemicals (phospholipids or bile acids) or blockage of the ducts carrying bile from the gallbladder to the intestine (biliary stasis). Obstruction can also lead to colonization of bile with bacteria, resulting in infection. Individuals with high heme turn over (e.g., cirrhosis, hemoglobinopathies including sickle cell disease, thalassemia, spherocytosis) are predisposed to bilirubin stones. United Nations Farms
What is the common term for calculi in the sac that stores bile?
gall bladdera
Where is the bile produce which components of food does it help to digest?
it is produced in the liver.it helps breaking fats into smaller bits called emulsification of fat.
Is a bile duct the same as a bile?
no because bile is stored in the bile duct
What is the liquid secreted in liver?
bile
What sort of chemical is the bile?
Bile is not a chemical, it is bile salts.
What is gallbladder sludge?
Gallbladder sludge is a collection of cholesterol, calcium, bilirubin, and other compounds that build up in the gallbladder. It is sometimes called biliary sludge because it occurs when bile stays in the gallbladder for too long. Bile is a greenish-yellow fluid that produced in the liver and stored in the gallbladder.
