✦ Synopsis

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.
