Abstract

The gall bladder was examined during prenatal and postnatal stages. Its shape, and position in the fossa vesciae felleae were unchanged during the developmental stages, but the relation was changed. The gall bladder was fixed in position by the attachment to the visceral surface of the liver by connective tissue as well as a band extends from doudenum to cystic duct and reached the body.
The length width and capacity of the gall bladder increased with the age of the animal.
