Learning Outcomes
On completion of this plenary, the students should be able to
1. describe the location and relations of the gallbladder.
2. discuss the blood supply and lymphatic drainage of the gallbladder.
3. explain the gross anatomy of the pancreas and its clinical
importance.
4. relate the blood supply of the pancreas and its
development.
5. discuss microscopic structures of the gallbladder and the
pancreas .
GALLBLADDER
Anterior
- the anterior abdominal
wall
- the inferior surface of
the liver
Posterior
- the transverse colon
- the first and second
parts of the duodenum
Arterial supply
- the cystic artery from the
Venous drainage
- the cystic vein drains
directly into the portal
vein. (joins the right
branch of portal vein)

Applied Anatomy
1. Gall stones collect in the gallbladder causing
gallstone colic or producing acute cholecystitis.
2. Acute Cholecystitis
• Referred pain over the
shoulder because the skin in
this area is supplied by the
supraclavicular nerves (C3,4).
• Inflammation of gallbladder
may irritate the
subdiaphragmatic parietal
peritoneum which is supplied
in part by the phrenic nerve
(C3,4,5).
3. Gangrene of the gallbladder
Rarely becomes gangrenous because the small
vessels from the visceral surface of the liver also
supply the gallbladder.
4. Biliary colic
PANCREAS
elongated structure
Retroperitoneal structure
Lymph drainage
• Pancreaticosplenic lymph nodes.
• The efferent vessels drain into the celiac and superior
mesentric lymph nodes.
Nerve Supply
Sympathetic and parasympathetic (vagal) nerve
Duct System of the Bile
extends from the liver
connects with the gallbladder
empties into the second part of the duodenum.
Right and left hepatic ducts common hepatic duct
Common hepatic duct and the cystic duct the bile duct (common bile duct).

duodenum
