cystic artery

43
Q

What is the venous drainage of the gallbladder?

A

drains into portal vein or liver directly

44
Q

What is the lymphatic drainage of the gallbladder?

A

cystic lymph node (node of cliquot) which is found at confluence of cystic and common hepatic duct.
Drains into hepatic and celiac lymph nodes

45
Q

What is this:
Gallstones form in the gallbladder
Gallstone can lodge in the neck or cystic duct leading to colicky pain in the right upper quadrant
