The gallbladder

The gallbladder is a pear-shaped bag, along 8 to 10 cm wide and 3 or 4 cm. Its capacity is about 50 ml (1-2 ml / g body weight).

It lies in the cystic fossa, located on the underside of the right lobe of the liver, adjacent to the caudate lobe and caudate lobe separated by tracts that lead to the hilum of the liver.

It is divided into several parts:

- Bottom: Rounded, responds to the notch of the anterior cystic liver, the gallbladder is full when it reaches the parietal peritoneum near the anterior end of the 9th costal cartilage.

- The body : Whose upper side adheres to the liver and whose underside is covered by the parietal peritoneum.


- The infundibulum.

- Col. : Long 2 cm is angled forward and right with the body and form an acute angle open forward.

The cystic duct

He was born at the neck of the gallbladder and a path S to reach the hepatic duct. The cystic duct is often moniliforme in its upper part where the light is occupied by the valves of Heister, kind of braces that are opposed to the folding of the channel, and thus allow the bile to reach the gallbladder, regardless pressure. It is smooth in its distal part.

Its caliber increases from the gallbladder (2 or 3 mm) to its terminal portion (3 or 5 mm). Its average length is 2 to 3 cm, can reach 6 cm when it flows directly into the duodenum. Its mode of termination is variable.

The cystic short address in general the hepatic duct close to the hilum, at right angles. Normally the cystic duct attaches itself to the right edge of the bile duct that runs up to their entrances into it.
