MHS 261 Common Bile Duct

Simple Columnar Epithelium

The lumen of has many folds lined with a simple columnar epithelium.

This epithelium is relatively uniform in height, but appears otherwise depending on the angle the section cut through it.

  • Where the section is cut to the surface of the epithelium, a single row of cells is seen.
  • Where the section is cut to the surface of the epithelium, it passes through adjacent cells resulting in multiple nuclei and extra tall cells. This can be easily confused with a pseudostratified columnar epithelium.
