One important result of lake and reservoir enrichment is increased growth of microscopic floating plants, algae, and the formation of dense mats of larger floating plants such as water hyacinths (Photos 1 and 2) and Nile cabbage.
What is percutaneous biliary drainage? Percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage is a procedure where a small, flexible, plastic tube is placed through the skin into the liver in order to drain an obstructed bile duct system. The liver produces bile which aids digestion of fats.
Bile Ducts. The tubes that carry bile through the liver and gallbladder are known as bile ducts and form a branched structure known as the biliary tree. Bile produced by liver cells drains into microscopic canals known as bile canaliculi.he tubes that carry bile through the liver and gallbladder are known as bile ducts and form a branched structure known as the biliary tree.
