Accessory digestive organs

The video tutorial covers accessory digestive organs, focusing on the liver, biliary tract, and pancreas. It explains the liver's structure, including the falciform ligament, quadrate and caudate lobes, and the porta hepatis. The biliary tract is detailed with its ducts and the gallbladder's role in bile storage and release. The pancreas is discussed in terms of its endocrine and exocrine functions, highlighting insulin production and digestive enzyme secretion.

What is the function of the falciform ligament in the liver?

• It connects the liver to the pancreas.

• It produces insulin.

• It separates the right and left lobes of the liver.

• It stores bile.

Which structure is responsible for bringing oxygenated blood to the liver?

• Cystic duct

• Common bile duct

• Hepatic arteries

• Portal vein

What is the role of the common bile duct?

• It stores insulin.

• It transports bile to the duodenum.

• It separates liver lobes.

• It produces digestive enzymes.

What triggers the release of bile from the gallbladder?

• Liver damage

• Insulin secretion

• Presence of fat in the duodenum

• High blood sugar levels

What is the primary function of the pancreas' exocrine activity?

• To produce insulin

• To secrete digestive enzymes

• To store bile

• To filter blood
