8. Muscular coat is of considerable thickness in the stomach, and is of great importance in varying the size of the organ according to the amount of food it contains, in making the peristaltic movements which mix the food with the digestive juice, and finally in expelling the softened food from the stomach into the small intestine.
9. Mucous membrane lines the interior of the stomach and is of smooth, soft texture, though raised up into ridges when the stomach is empty.

Liver
The liver is the largest gland of the body, weighing 1.5 kg. in men and somewhat less in women. It is a soft plastic organ. It occupies chiefly the right hypochondriac and epigastric regions directly beneath the diaphragm. There are two principal lobes, the right and the left. The right lobe consists of the right lobe proper and the small quadrate and the caudate lobes on the inferior surface. The line of demarcation between the right and left lobes is indicated on the superior surface by the falciform ligament which passes from the liver to the diaphragm and the anterior abdominal wall. The ligament is a remnant of the anterior mesentery and conveys on its free border, a fibrous cord, the occluded umbilical vein, now the round ligament. The surface of the liver is covered with peritoneum with the exception of a small area on its posterior surface which is attached directly to the diaphragm. Beneath the peritoneum is a dense connective tissue layer called the capsule of Glisson, which covers the entire surface of the organ.
Microscopic structure. The cells of the liver are arranged in architectural units, called lobules. These are elongated polygonal structures, having five, six or seven sides. Running lengthwise through the center of the lobule is the central or intralobular vein. Encircling the periphery of the lobule are the branches of the portal vein, called interlobular veins, interlobular bile duds and branches of the hepatic artery. The interlobular veins break up into sinusoids which enter the lobule at the periphery.
61
The liver cells are arranged in cords which radiate from the central vein to the periphery of the lobule. Between the cords lie the liver sinusoids. Each liver cell cord consists of two adjacent rows of hepatic cells between which runs a thin bile capillary which passes to the periphery of the lobule to join the interlobular bile ducts.
The sinusoids are irregular blood channels formed by a layer of flat cells and histiocytes. The histiocytes of the liver are called Kupffer's cells. The sinusoids lead in a radial manner toward the middle of the lobule, like the spokes of a wheel to the hub, and empty into the central vein. The smallest branches of the hepatic artery enter the sinusoids at the periphery of the lobule.
Summary of Circulation. Blood is brought to the liver from two sources: from the digestive tract and spleen by the portal vein and from the aorta through the hepatic artery.
The portal vein is unique in that it is interposed between two capillary beds: one in the liver, the other in the digestive area. The portal vein on entering the liver divides into branches which come into relation to the circumference of the lobule. These branches in turn give off interlobular veins which run between the lobules. These give rise to the sinusoids which run between the cords of hepatic cells to enter the central veins. Central veins of several lobules join to form the sublobular veins which in turn unite to form the hepatic veins. The hepatic veins, usually two or three in number, empty into the inferior vena cava.
The hepatic artery is distributed chiefly to the interlobular connective tissue and its contained structures. Its finest branches empty into the sinusoids at the circumference of the lobule. The hepatic artery contributes about one fourth of the total blood supply of the liver. However, the liver is dependent upon this fraction for its oxygen supply.
Functions. The most obvious function of the liver is the formation of its external secretion, the bile. The other functions of the liver are numerous and varied. They are listed very briefly here: blood formation in the embryo; stimulation of red bone marrow; production of fibrinogen; storage of iron and copper; phagocytic action of histiocytes (Kupffer cells); detoxication; protein metabolism; carbohydrate metabolism (Glycogenetic function); fat metabolism; heat production.
Gallbladder. The gallbladder is a pear-shaped hollow sac attached to the under surface of the liver. It ends in the cystic duct which joins with hepatic duct to form the common bile duct. The bile, which is secreted continuously by the liver, may not immediately enter the intestines but after passing down the hepatic duct it may turn into the cystic duct and enter the gallbladder. During digestion the bile passes down the cystic duct and into the common bile duct which opens into the duodenum about 10 cm. below the pylorus. The common bile duct pierces the duodenal wall and joins with the pancreatic duct to form the ampule of Vater, which opens into the duodenum through a small elevation called the duodenal papilla.

Kidneys
Kidneys are a pair of glands situated close to the spine in the upper part of the abdomen. They are on a level with the last dorsal and upper two lumbar vertebrae, and each is, to a great extent, covered behind by the twelfth rib of its own side. They are kept in this position by a quantity of fat and loose connective tissue, in which they are embedded, by the large vessels which supply them with blood, by the peritoneal membrane stretched over their front surface, and largely by the pressure of the other abdominal organs against them.
Structure. In size each is about 4 inches long, 2.5 inches wide, 1.5 inches thick, and weighs over 4 ounces. The size, however, varies a good deal. The left kidney is slightly longer and narrower, and lies a trifle higher in the abdomen than the right.
The kidney in adult human beings presents a smooth exterior, though in early life, as in many animals, it is divided up into distinct lobes, corresponding to the pyramids found in the interior. Enveloping it is a tough fibrous coat, which, in the healthy state, is bound to the kidney only by loose fibrous tissues and by a few blood vessels that pass between it and the kidney.
The outer margin of the kidney is convex, the inner is concave, presenting a deep depression, known as the hilus, where the vessels enter its substance. At the hilus the renal vein lies in front of the renal artery, the former joining the inferior vena cava, and the latter springing from the aorta almost at a right angle. Here, too, the ureter, which conveys urine down to the bladder, is attached. The ureter is spread out into an expanded, funnel-like end, known as the pelvis, to which the capsule of the kidney is firmly attached and which further divides into little funnels known as the calices.
On splitting open a kidney, one finds it to consist of two distinct parts: a layer on the surface, about 1/6 inch thick, known as the cortex, and a part towards the hilum, known as the medulla. The latter consists of pyramids, arranged side by side, with their base on the cortex and their apex projecting into the calices of the pelvis. The
63
apex of each pyramid, of which there are about 15-20 in all, is studded with minute holes, which are the openings of the microscopic uriniferous tubes.
Each pyramid is in effect taken together with the portion of the cortex lying along its base, an independent little kidney. About a score of small tubes open on the surface of each pyramid and these, if traced up into its substance, divide again and again so as to form bundles of tubes, known as medullary rays, passing up towards the cortex. If one of these be traced still farther back, it is found, after a very tortuous course, to end in a small rounded body, the Malpighian corpuscle or glomerulus.
If the blood vessels now be traced through the kidney, their course is found to be as follows. The renal artery splits up into branches, which form arches at the line of junction of cortex and medulla, and from these again spring vessels that run up through the cortex, giving off small branches in every direction.
Each of these at last ends in a little tuft of capillaries enclosed in a capsule (Bowman's), that forms the end of the uriniferous tube above described, and capillaries with a capsule are known as a glomerulus. The blood, after circulating in the glomerulus, emerges by a small vessel, which again splits up into capillaries on the walls of the uriniferous tubes. From these it is collected finally into the renal veins and by them leaves the kidney.
By means of the double circulation, first through the glomerulus and then around the tube a large amount of fluid is removed from the blood in the glomerulus, and then the concentrated blood passes on to the uriniferous tube for removal of parts of its solid contents. Other straight arteries come off from the arches above mentioned and supply the medulla direct, the blood from these passing through another set of capillaries and also finally into the renal veins.
Though the circulation just described is confined entirely to the kidney, it has certain small connections both by arteries and veins which pass through the capsule and join the lumbar vessels communicating direct with the aorta.
Function. The chief function of the kidneys is to separate fluid and certain solids from the blood. The glomeruli filter from the blood the non-protein portion of the plasma. As this filtrate passes through the convoluted tubules varying parts of it are reabsorbed. It is estimated that in 24 hours the total human glomeruli will filter between 15 and 200 liters, 99 per cent of which is reabsorbed by the tubules. The constituents of the filtrate may be grouped according to the extent to which they are reabsorbed by the tubules: I) substances actively reabsorbed, such as amino acids, glucose, potassium, calcium, magnesium and chlorine; 2) substances passing through the tubular epithelium by a simple process of diffusion when their concentration in the filtrate exceeds that in the plasma, such as urea, uric acid, phosphate; 3) substances not returned to the blood from the tubular fluid - e. g., creatine.
When the kidneys are diseased and the number of glomeruli and tubules decreased in consequence, this alternating action is not so readily carried out, and therefore the work of the diseased kidney becomes much embarrassed. When the blood vessels of the kidney are partially closed by disease (arteriosclerosis), the general blood pressure rises with the object of forcing more blood through the kidneys; and, in consequence, marked changes are produced upon the heart in this type of renal disease. When the
64
kidneys fail to act, these solid waste substances accumulate in the blood. The general poisoning resulting from failure of renal function produces the clinical condition known as uraemia.
