Morphological and Histological Study of liver, gall bladder and Bile ducts in human

Abstract

We conducted out study in the department of Anatomy, HIMS over a period of one year. The study comprised of 32 aborted human fetuses of varying gestational age which were procured from the department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, I.HMS. The abdomens were dissected and the liver, gall bladder, cystic duct and the common bile duct were removed and fixed with formalin. We have studied the external parameters of the liver, gall bladder, cystic duct and the common bile duct. Sections were taken from all the four organs and stained with H&E, Masson's Trichome and PAS and observed for the developmental changes.
