Description
Scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the surface of the gallbladder. Each of the small elevations on the wrinkled surface is an epithelial cell. The gallbladder is a pear-shaped mucosal 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 140x at a size of 12x12cm.
