Supplies the gall bladder and cystic duct
Cystic artery
Cystic artery Arises from the Right Hepatic Artery in the
Cystic Triangle of Calot
Drains directly into portal vein or may also directly drain to the liver
Cystic veins
Connects the neck of the gallbladder to the common hepatic duct
cystic duct
- cystic duct : proximal part
- cystic duct : distal part
Spiral valve (of Heister)/ spiral fold Smooth part (Pars Glabra)
Contains mucosal duplications within the initial portion of cystic duct that regulated gallbladder filling and emptying; offers additional resistance to sudden bile dumping
Spiral valve (of Heister)/ spiral fold
cystic duct drainage is through the ________ -> __________ -> _____________
cystic lymph nodes (located in neck area) hepatic lymph nodes celiac lymph nodes
- Shape of gallbladder
- capacity of gallbladder
- gallbladder attached to
- functions to
- pear shape
- 30-50mL
- inferior surface of liver
- store and concentrate bile
Gallbladder is anteriorly to the _____ and the _____
- inferior/visceral surfaces of the liver
- anterior abdominal wall below subcostal margin
are either circumscribed tenderness in the gallbladder region or colicky pain (pain due to gas in stomach and unable to pin point)
Biliary tracts pains
cuboidal to columnar in shape
Mucous cells
usually pyramidal in shape, with a broad base
Serous cells
Where secretory end pieces empty into
Intercalated ducts
Intercalated ducts, Lined by
simple cuboidal epithelial cells, with
presence of striations
Characterized by radial striations that extend to form the bases of the cells to the level of the central nuclei
Striated ducts
initially lined with pseudostratified or stratified cuboidal epithelium, distally lined with stratified columnar epithelium
present in basal lamina of glands or ducts which function to propel secretions upon contraction
Myoepithelial cells
Secrete only 10% of the total volume of saliva, but account for approximately 70% of the mucous secreted
Minor salivary glands
Secrete in response to parasympathetic activity induced by physical, chemical, and psychological stimuli
Major salivary glands
Largest of the salivary glands
Parotid Glands - Wedge-shaped
emerges from the anterior border of the gland, runs toward the lateral surface of the masseter muscle, pierces the buccinator muscle, opens opposite the upper 2nd molar tooth, into the parotid papilla of the oral cavity
Stensen’s/Parotid duct
Submandibular/Submaxillary glands secretes
lyzozyme
Parotid Gland Arterial supply
External carotid artery (ECA) and its superficial terminal branches (Superficial temporal and maxillary aa.)
Parotid Gland Venous drainage
Retromandibular v.
Parotid Gland Lymphatic drainage
Parotid and Deep cervical nodes
