The number of glands at a constant level within the wall of the common bile duct was measured in the foetus, infant, child and adult. The number of glandular acini increases from foetal life to reach a maximum within the 1st year of life. Thereafter it remains remarkably constant. This is in contrast to the lumen and wall of the common bile duct which only reaches adult proportions in adult life. Conversely, the density of acini within the wall of the common bile duct is at a peak in early foetal life and decreases progressively throughout infancy and childhood.
在胎儿、婴儿、儿童和成人中，测量了胆总管壁内处于恒定水平的腺体数量。腺泡数量从胎儿期开始增加，在出生后第1年内达到最大值。此后，它保持显著恒定。这与胆总管的管腔和管壁形成对比，后者仅在成年期达到成人比例。相反，胆总管壁内腺泡的密度在胎儿早期达到峰值，并在整个婴儿期和儿童期逐渐降低。
