Intrahepatic bile ducts
Intrahepatic bile ducts compose the outflow system of exocrine bile product from the liver.
They can be divided into:
- Lobar ducts - stratified [columnar epithelium].
- Interlobar ducts - pseudostratified columnar epithelium.
- Interlobular [bile ducts] - simple columnar epithelium.
- Intralobular bile ducts - simple cuboidal epithelium, then by hepatocytes
- Bile canaliculi - two half-canaliculi formed by the hepatocytes facing the perisinusoidal space
