What causes Jaundice ?
[ 3 marks ]
Answers
Answer -
There is a common bile duct that carries bile from the liver and the gall bladder to the duodenum, known as common bile duct..... But, if this duct gets blocked due to the gall stone or some other disorders, bile juice can't able to reach small intestine. This causes the bile to back up to the liver. Now Bile juice ( Yellow in colour) , can enter into blood stone and this causes Jaundice. (i.e) why the skin turns yellowish.
Hope it helps you....
Answer:
Jaundice may occur as a result of hepatitis, both acute and chronic and may indicate extensive liver damage. A prolonged period of alcohol consumption may also lead to jaundice. Obstructive jaundice may occur due to the obstruction of the bile duct by gallstones or external obstruction by cancer.
