Bile release isnât signaled, so bile sits in the gallbladder, turning thick and viscous. In a vicious cycle, it becomes more difficult for the gallbladder to release bile when bile is thick, so it just gets thicker in the gallbladder.
Humans have a total of 46 chromosomes in each body cell; 44 of these are autosomes. You get one set of 22 autosomes from your mom and another set of 22 from your dad. It is often easier to think about our autosomes in pairs because even though we have 44 autosomes, we actually only have 22 types.
The longest of the autosomes is referred to as chromosome 1, the next largest as chromosome 2, and so on, down to the smallest autosomes, chromosomes 21 and 22. Each cell nucleus contains two copies of each autosome (44 chromosomes), plus two sex chromosomes (either two Xs or an X and a Y) for a total of 46.
