Question

The adjectival form of this word partly names a phenomenon in which aberrant blood vessels, like the inferior vein of Sappey, produce perfusion abnormalities. By the Couinaud (“kwee-NOH”) classification, this word designates the left lateral inferior segment. The oxygen-deprived metabolic “zone” with this designation has the highest concentration of cytochrome P450 enzymes. The intercompartmental shift that produces ascites is an example of fluid (15[1])(*) “spacing” (10[1])named for this number. (10[1])The Pringle maneuver clamps down this many structures passing through (-5[1])the hepatoduodenal ligament. Each corner of a hexagonal liver lobule contains a total of this many combined bile ducts and blood vessels. This is the typical number of hepatic veins that drain the liver. For 10 points, (-5[1])gluconeogenesis in the liver begins with a molecule containing how many carbon (-5[1])atoms? ■END■ (10[2]0[6])

ANSWER: three [or third; accept third inflow, segment 3, or third spacing; accept portal triad]
