    Gall Bladder Histology Background

    Gallbladder Structure

    Anatomy
    Pear-shaped
    distensible sac (about 50ml volume)
    Attached to posterioinferior surface of liver
    Embryonic - foregut, forms from primitive bile
    duct
    leads to cystic duct
    Liver -> hepatic duct
    Gallbladder -> cystic duct
    Common Bile duct

    Macroscopic Mucosal features:

    Mucosa (epithelium + lamina propria)


    Mucosal folds
    Rokitansky-Aschoff sinuses
    Serosa/Adventitia (dense CT + visceral
    mesothelium)

    Epithelium
    Columnar epithelium with microvilli (absorptive
    epithelium)
    Epithelium lining the biliary system does not
    contain mucus-producing cells (few located
    in neck of gall bladder)
    Basement membrane (not basal lamina which
    forms part of basement membrane and only
    visible by EM)

    Lamina Propria
    connective tissue
    collagen fibers and fibroblasts
    fenestrated capillaries and venules
    lymphocytes and plasma cells

    Smooth Muscle Layer


    random orientation of smooth muscle cells
    (fibers)
    muscularis propria (or fibromuscular coat)[1]
    not like the rest of GIT smooth muscle
    organisation, which is divided into muscularis
    mucosa (inside submucosa), muscularis
    externa (circular and longitudinal)
    various terminology used for this layer in
    different sources

    Serosa/Adventitia
    Dense connective tissue layer covered with
    visceral mesothelium epithelial layer
    Adventitia - where it is attached to the liver
    Serosa - where it is free in the peritoneum
    Large blood vessels (arteries, veins)
    Obvious lymphatic vessels
    Autonomic nerve bundles
    Adipose tissue

    Gall Bladder Function


    bile storage
    bile concentration
    bile release

    Embryology Historic Terminology

    Luschka ducts (duct of Luschka) is historic term


    referring to an accessory bile duct.
    folds of Heister (spiral valves of Heister) are
    undulating folds containing muscle fibers in the
    proximal mucosa of the cystic duct. First
    described by Heister in 1732. PMID: 15696536
