Description
Gallbladder wall of a human patient with gallstones. The top layer is composed of highly polarized epithelial cells with microvilli partially visible at the apex and dark nuclei at the base. Below the epithelium is a thin layer of cells over a large volume of foamy macrophages laden with cholesterol. The patient subsequently underwent gall bladder removal surgery.
