However, it can only renew itself to a certain point beyond which the liver is no longer able to regenerate. In chronic liver disease, such as cirrhosis, hepatocytes are destroyed faster than they can be regenerated (irreversible). Liver tissue is (Continued) Ss (Continued) replaced by fibrotic scar tissue as well as regenerative nodules, leading to progressive loss of liver function. The formation of macro and micro nodules affects the structure of the liver and its blood supply, impeding blood flow through the liver.

The resulting portal hypertension (high pressure in the portal vein) can lead to numerous complications for the person. Jaundice (yellow tint of the skin and sclera of the eye) can develop because the yellow bile is not metabolised and excreted in the bile into the small intestine, but accumulates in the blood. | ————_— Watch this short video clip explaining the structure of the liver.

BNO eer suppLy (8.11) The liver carries out a diverse range of functions: metabolic, storage and immunological.

Metabolic functions The liver carries out many metabolic activities which are considered here. Nutrient metabolism is dis- cussed in some detail later in the chapter. The heat produced through metabolic activities of the liver makes a major contribution to body temperature.
