Study Notes

Interlobular bile ducts are located in portal areas of the liver.
They begin as simple cuboidal epithelium (Cholangiocytes) and transition to simple columnar epithelium near the porta hepatis.
Microvilli project from hepatocytes into the bile canaliculi, increasing surface area and preventing leakage with tight junctions.
Bile ductules, cuboidal epithelial cells, empty into interlobular bile ducts in portal areas.
Interlobular bile ducts eventually merge to form larger ducts and eventually unite to form the right and left hepatic ducts.
The common hepatic duct is formed by the union of the right and left hepatic ducts and the cystic duct, which arises from the gallbladder.
The gallbladder is a saclike structure that stores, concentrates, and releases bile. Its wall is formed of mucosa, muscularis, and serosa or adventitia.
The gallbladder dilates to store bile because it's not immediately secreted to the duodenum until there's fat present.
The pancreas is a mixed gland with both exocrine and endocrine parts.
The exocrine pancreas produces digestive pancreatic enzymes, and its structure includes pancreatic acini, centroacinar cells, and a duct system.
The pancreatic acini, composed of serous acini, have a pyramidal shape and a duct shoved into their lumen. The cytoplasm is basophilic in the basal part and acidophilic in the apical part.
The gallbladder and the extrahepatic bile ducts share similar structures, but they are covered by peritoneum, unlike the gallbladder's serosa or adventitia.
