Description

This detailed histological representation of the hepatic duct illustrates the fine cellular structures involved in bile transport. The single-layered epithelial lining, supported by a delicate network of collagen fibers, ensures the integrity of bile passage. Smooth muscle elements contribute to duct motility, facilitating bile flow toward the intestine. The depiction of adjacent vascular structures emphasizes the hepatic duct’s integration within the liver’s complex microenvironment. Ideal for histology studies and medical education, this image enhances the understanding of biliary microanatomy.
