The document discusses disorders related to the gallbladder, biliary tract, and pancreas, highlighting the gallbladder's role in bile storage and the fact that humans can live without it. It describes conditions such as cholelithiasis (gallstones) and acute cholangitis, as well as the pancreas's functions in digestion and hormone production, particularly insulin. Additionally, it includes ICD-10-CM guidelines for classifying these disorders.
Disorders of gall bladder biliary tract and pancreas
- 2. GALLBLADDER gallbladder (also gall bladder, biliary vesicle or cholecyst) is a small organ where bile (a fluid produced by the liver) is stored and concentrated before it is released into the small intestine. Humans can live without a gallbladder. The surgical removal of the gallbladder is called a cholecystectomy.
- 4. Calculus is a stone formation in gall bladder. Ascending cholangitis, also known as acute cholangitis or simply cholangitis, is an infection of the bile duct (cholangitis), usually caused by bacteria ascending from its junction with the duodenum (first part of the small intestine). It tends to occur if the bile duct is already partially obstructed by gallstones
- 5. PANCREAS The pancreas is a glandular organ in the digestive system and endocrine system of vertebrates. In humans, it is located in the abdominal cavity behind the stomach. It is an endocrine gland producing several important hormones, including insulin, glucagon, somatostatin, and pancreatic polypeptide which circulate in the blood.
- 6. The pancreas is also a digestive organ, secreting pancreatic juice containing digestive enzymes that assist digestion and absorption of nutrients in the small intestine. These enzymes help to further break down the carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids in the chyme. The pancreas is also known as a mixed gland.
- 7. FUNCTIONS OF PANCREAS Sugar control and metabolism The pancreas plays a vital role in the digestive system. It secretes fluid that contains enzymes into the duodenum. These enzymes help to break down carbohydrates (usually starch), proteins and lipids (fats). This role is called the "exocrine" role of the pancreas.
- 8. The biliary tract, (biliary tree or biliary system) refers to the liver, gall bladder and bile ducts, and how they work together to make, store and secrete bile. Bile consists of water, electrolytes, bile acids, cholesterol, phospholipids and conjugat ed bilirubin. Some components are synthesised by hepatocytes (liver cells), the rest are extracted from the blood by the liver.
