Description

This anatomical illustration highlights cholecystitis, or inflammation of the gallbladder, through a vivid depiction of vascular changes. The gallbladder appears swollen, with its surface slightly discolored and engorged, indicating tissue irritation and edema. Prominently dilated red arteries illustrate increased blood flow due to inflammation, while the surrounding vasculature demonstrates hyperemia typically associated with an acute response. This visual is especially useful for understanding the vascular involvement in cholecystitis and the gallbladder’s response to obstruction or infection.
