An important physiologica* Fio. ng deduction from the anatomi-cal structure of the liver is,that bile is wholly secretedfrom venous blood, and notfrom a mixture of venous andarterial blood, as stated byMuller; and an equally im-portant pathological inferenceis, that bile is wholly an ex-crementitious fluid, and not auxiliary to digestion, asmany physiologists suppose. Fig. 116 is a horizontal section ofthree superficial lobules, showingthe two principal systems of LOBULES OF THE LIVER. The Gall-Bladder.—The gall-bladder is a pyriform sac, whichserves as a reservoir for the bile. It is situated on the under surfaceof the right lobe of the liver, and composed of serous, fibrous, and mu-cous coats. Its mucous coat is raised into minute rugae, which form aspiral valve at the neck of the sac. The biliary ducts are three : the ductus communis choledochus, whichis the common excretory duct of the liver and gall-bladder, about threeinches long, and about the size of a crow-quill, commences at the mid-dle of the duodenum, and before reaching the liver divides into thecystic, which is about an inch in length, and enters the neck of thegall-bladder, and the hepatic, which continues onward to the transversefissure, where it divides into two branches, which ramify throuijh theportal canals to all parts of the liver.
