Coloured SEM of surface cells of the gall bladder
Gall bladder. Coloured scanning electron micro- graph (SEM) of cells on the wall of the gall bladder. This lining mucosa is made up of columnar epithelial cells, each appearing rounded on the surface. Each cell is covered with small micro- villi (hair-like structures). Microvilli increase the surface area of these cells for absorbing water from bile. Beneath the folded mucosa wall lie sheets of smooth muscle. The gall bladder is a muscular sac attached to the liver. It collects & concentrates liver bile. Bile is then released from the gall bladder down the bile duct and into the duodenum of the intestine, where it aids in the digestion of food by emulsifying fats

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of the surface cells found in the gall bladder. Through a colored scanning electron microscope, we are granted a mesmerizing glimpse into this vital organ's inner workings. The lining mucosa is composed of columnar epithelial cells that appear rounded on the surface, creating an aesthetically pleasing pattern. What truly captures our attention are the small microvilli covering each cell like delicate hair-like structures. These microvilli play a crucial role in increasing the surface area of these cells, enabling them to efficiently absorb water from bile. This absorption process is essential for maintaining proper digestion within our bodies. Beneath this folded mucosa wall lies sheets of smooth muscle, adding another layer of complexity to this microscopic landscape. The gall bladder itself is a muscular sac attached to the liver and serves as a reservoir for collecting and concentrating liver bile. Ultimately, bile is released from the gall bladder through the bile duct and into the duodenum of our intestine where it aids in emulsifying fats during food digestion. Through this remarkable image captured by Science Photo Library, we gain an appreciation for both the intricacy and functionality present within our own bodies.
