     What is the basic functional unit of the liver?

    • Liver lobe

    • Hepatic cell

    • Liver lobule

    • Hepatic duct

    Correct Answer
    A. Liver lobule
    Explanation
    The liver lobule is the basic functional unit of the liver. It is a small, hexagonal-shaped structure that consists of hepatocytes (liver cells) arranged in a radial pattern around a central vein. The lobule is responsible for performing various functions of the liver, such as detoxification, metabolism, and synthesis of proteins. The hepatocytes within the lobule work together to process and filter blood, produce bile, and carry out other essential liver functions. Therefore, the liver lobule is the fundamental building block that allows the liver to carry out its vital role in maintaining overall health and homeostasis.

     Which of the following laboratory tests CANNOT  evaluate liver function?

    • ALT

    • AST

    • ALP

    • BUN

    Correct Answer
    A. BUN
    Explanation
    BUN (Blood Urea Nitrogen) is a laboratory test that evaluates kidney function, not liver function. The liver function is typically assessed using tests such as ALT (Alanine Aminotransferase), AST (Aspartate Aminotransferase), and ALP (Alkaline Phosphatase). These tests measure the levels of enzymes produced by the liver and can indicate liver damage or disease. BUN, on the other hand, measures the amount of urea nitrogen in the blood, which is a waste product filtered by the kidneys. Therefore, BUN is not suitable for evaluating liver function.

     Gain settings should be placed to demonstrate the normal liver as a medium shade of gray 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The gain settings should be adjusted to display the normal liver as a medium shade of gray because this ensures optimal visualization of the liver tissue. If the gain settings are too high, the liver will appear too bright and may obscure any abnormalities or subtle differences in tissue texture. On the other hand, if the gain settings are too low, the liver will appear too dark and details may be missed. Therefore, setting the gain to display the liver as a medium shade of gray allows for accurate interpretation of the ultrasound image.

     As portal venous flow to the liver decreases, hepatic arterial flow… 

    • Decreases

    • Increases

    • Stabilizes

    • Remains the same

    Correct Answer
    A. Increases
    Explanation
    As portal venous flow to the liver decreases, hepatic arterial flow increases. This is because the liver needs a constant supply of blood to function properly, and when the portal venous flow decreases, the liver compensates by increasing the flow through the hepatic artery. This ensures that the liver continues to receive enough oxygen and nutrients to carry out its metabolic functions.

    • Portal vein

    • Bile duct

    • Hepatic veins

    • Hepatic arteries

    Correct Answer
    A. Hepatic veins
    Explanation
    The hepatic veins are both interlobar and intersegmental. They are interlobar because they run between the lobes of the liver, connecting the lobes together. They are also intersegmental because they run between the liver segments, which are functional units of the liver. The portal vein, bile duct, and hepatic arteries are not interlobar or intersegmental structures.

     Which of the following is NOT a diffuse liver disease?

    • Fatty infiltration

    • Hepatoma

    • Cirrhosis

    • Hepatitis

    Correct Answer
    A. Hepatoma
    Explanation
    Hepatoma is not a diffuse liver disease because it refers to a specific type of liver cancer, also known as hepatocellular carcinoma. Diffuse liver diseases, on the other hand, involve widespread damage or inflammation throughout the liver, such as fatty infiltration, cirrhosis, and hepatitis.

     The adult liver is considered enlarged after the Anteroposterior diameter exceeds 

    • 10 cm

    • 12 cm

    • 15 cm

    • 20 cm

    Correct Answer
    A. 15 cm
    Explanation
    The adult liver is considered enlarged after the Anteroposterior diameter exceeds 15 cm. This measurement is used to determine if the liver is larger than normal, which could be indicative of various liver diseases or conditions. A liver enlargement of 15 cm or more suggests that there may be an underlying issue that needs to be further investigated and treated.

     How are hepatic veins distinguished from the portal venous system?

    • They can be seen arising from the portal triad

    • They have high amplitude echos surrounding them

    • They can be seen draining into the IVC

    • They are identical in appearance to the arteriole system

    Correct Answer
    A. They can be seen draining into the IVC
    Explanation
    Hepatic veins are distinguished from the portal venous system by the fact that they can be seen draining into the IVC (inferior vena cava). The portal venous system, on the other hand, carries blood from the digestive organs to the liver. This differentiation is important in understanding the flow of blood within the liver and its circulation throughout the body.
