Textbook of normal histology: including an account of the development of the tissues and of the organs . r neces-sity for or probability of theexistence of a membrane tolimit the lumen of the bile-tubule than in the case of other glands.

Emerging from the lobuleat the periphery to pass intothe adjacent interlobular con-nective tissue, the small bile-ducts empty into the largerones, which bear the branchesof the hepatic blood-vesselscompany. The interlobularbile-vessels gradually in-crease in size, owing to therepeated union of the smaller tubes, until the larger trunks unite toform the hepatic duct. While the walls of the smaller bile-ductsconsist of columnar epithelium strengthened by fibrous con-nective tissue mixed with elastic fibres, those of the large vessels.
