NERVE SUPPLY
BILE DUCTS
• Water
• pH of hepatic bile is
• Electrolytes usually neutral or
• bile salts slightly alkaline
• Proteins • an increase in
• Lipids protein shifts the bile
to a more acidic pH
• bile pigments
BILE COMPOSITION
Secondary bile
salts
GALLBLADDER FUNCTION
Vagus nerve
bile secretion
Splanchnic nerve
bile secretion
Neurohormonal Regulation
Cholecystokinin:
- Gallbladder contraction
- Sphincter of Oddi relaxation
• acute cholecystitis
• choledocholithiasis with or without cholangitis
• gallstone pancreatitis
• cholecystocholedochal fistula
• cholecystoduodenal or cholecystoenteric fistula leading to gallstone
ileus,
• gallbladder carcinoma
CHOLESTEROL STONES
• <20% cholesterol
• dark because of the presence of
calcium bilirubinate
PIGMENT STONES
• secondary to gallstones in
90% to 95% of cases
• Obstruction of the cystic
duct by a gallstone is the
initiating event
• leads to gallbladder
distention, inflammation,
and edema of the
gallbladder wall
ACUTE CHOLECYSTITIS
• Ultrasonography
• Biliary radionuclide scanning (HIDA
scan)
• CT scan
