GALL BLADDER

• The gall bladder in Ox is a pear-shaped sac 4 to 6 inches long, which lies partly on the visceral surface and largely in contact with the abdominal wall at the ventral part of the 10th or 11th intercostal space
• Its neck is continued by the cystic duct, which joins the hepatic duct to form the common bile duct - ductus choledochus, which opens into the ventral part of the S-shaped curve of the duodenum
