1. Prerared by – S ohan patel GROUP- 344 3 RD COURSE GMF

2. Histological Structure Consists of: - Mucosa - Muscularis / Fibromuscular layer - Serosa / Adventitia

3. Histological Structure Mucosa: It includes the lining epithelium of simple columnar variety. Lamina propria rich in elastic fibers and blood vessels . Presence of microvilli gives brush border appearance to the epithelium under light microscope, Which facilitates absorption of water . Mucosa thrown into small folds when the bladder is empty .

4. Muscularis : Histological Structure This layer consists of circularly arranged smooth muscle fibers intermixed with connective tissue rich in elastic fibers. the neck of the gallbladder, the lamina propria houses simple tubuloalveolar glands , which produce a small amount of mucus . Lamina Propria Muscularis Layer Loose connective tissue

5. Histological Structure Serosa/Adventitia : Fundus and lower surface of body of gall bladder is covered by peritoneum. Upper surface is attached to the fossa for gall bladder by means of connective tissue.

6. Histological Structure There is no : Muscularis mucosa & Submucosa.

7. Function The main function of the gallbladder is to store bile, concentrate it by absorbing its water , and release it when necessary into the digestive tract . This process depends on an active sodium-transporting mechanism in the gallbladder's epithelium . Water absorption is an osmotic consequence of the sodium pump . Contraction of the smooth muscle of the gallbladder is induced by (cholecystokinin), a hormone produced by enteroendocrine cells located in the epithelial lining of the small intestine. Release of cholecystokinin is, in turn , stimulated by the presence of dietary fats in the small intestine.

8. Histological structure of hepatic, cystic, and common bile ducts Mucosa: Epithelial lining: Simple columnar epithelium. Lamina propria : Thin. Musculosa : • Thin layer of smooth muscles that becomes thicker near the duodenum and finally, in the intramural portion
