Study Notes
Gallbladder Overview
- Normal capacity of the gallbladder is typically around 30 to 50 milliliters.
- Anatomical divisions of the gallbladder include the fundus, body, and neck.
Cystic Duct
- The cystic duct joins the supraduodenal segment of the common hepatic duct in approximately 75% of cases.
- Spiral folds in the mucosa of the cystic duct are known as the spiral valves of Heister.
- The cystic duct has a length of about 3 to 4 centimeters.
- The diameter of the cystic duct lumen ranges from 2 to 4 millimeters.
- The wall of the cystic duct is surrounded by smooth muscle fibers, contributing to its ability to contract.
Anatomical Position
- The gallbladder lies in a fossa on the visceral surface of the liver, situated beneath the right lobe.
