Human Gall Bladder
The gall bladder (gall-bladder, gallbladder) and bile ducts laid open. (Spalteholz.)
- The gall bladder is a conical or pear-shaped musculomembranous sac
- lodged in a fossa on the under surface of the right lobe of the liver
- extending from near the right extremity of the porta to the anterior border of the organ
- 7 to 10 cm. in length, 2.5 cm. in breadth at its widest part, and holds from 30 to 35 c.c.
- divided into a fundus, body, and neck.
- fundus, or broad extremity, is directed downward, forward, and to the right, and projects beyond the anterior border of the liver
- body and neck are directed upward and backward to the left
- upper surface of the gall-bladder is attached to the liver by connective tissue and vessels
- under surface is covered by peritoneum, which is reflected on to it from the surface of the liver
- Occasionally the whole of the organ is invested by the serous membrane, and is then connected to the liver by a kind of mesentery.
