Description
Scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the surface of the gallbladder. On display are epithelial cells with microvilli. The gallbladder is a pear-shaped mucous sac that serves as a reservoir for the bile fluid produced in the liver. Bile is released into the stomach after ingestion, where it plays an important role in the digestion of fats. Medicines and other "waste products" filtered out by the liver are also contained in the bile and are excreted in this way. Magnification is 3000x at 12x10cm image size.
