  • True<\/li>\r\n \t
  • False<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n2. Choose the appropriate word.\u00a0<\/strong>\r\n\r\nWhen liver is damaged repeatedly, inflammation activates the stellate OR hepatocyte OR fibroblast<\/strong> to become a hepatocyte OR stellate OR fibroblast<\/strong>.\u00a0 As a result, fibrotic scar tissue is deposited faster than the regeneration rate of hepatocytes.\u00a0 The result is a loss of bile OR blood OR hepatocytes<\/strong> which means a loss of liver function.\u00a0 The presence of scar tissue will cause resistance for blood flowing in from the large, low-pressure portal vein which is full of bile OR nutrients OR oxygen<\/strong>. The result is portal hypertension.\r\n\r\n3. Which are manifestations that are associated with portal hypertension? \u00a0Select all that apply.<\/strong>\r\n
