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
    • Gall bladder -> cystic duct
    • Common Bile duct

Macroscopic Mucosal features:

  • Mucosa (epithelium + lamina propria)
    • Mucosal folds
    • Rokintansky-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) PMID 21074688
    • 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
