SOMATOTYPICAL FEATURES OF MORPHOMETRIC CHARACTERISTICS OF EXTRAORGANIC BILIARY DUCTS IN ADULTS

Aim of research: to establish correlative dependence patterns of morphometric characteristics of extrahepatic biliary ducts on a human somatotype. Material and methods: 104 liver samples with gall - bladder and biliary ducts were examined by means of morphometric and statistical methods. Results of study: the length of extrahepatic biliary ducts prevailed in subjects with dolichomorphic somatotype, and the widthin subjects of brachymorphic somatotype. The morphometric and morphologic characteristics of extrahepatic biliary ducts in mezomorphic somatotype acquire intermediate values. Conclusion: statistically relevant differences have been revealed in people with different constitutional types regarding an angle of convergence values, the length and width of hepatic ducts, common hepatic and common biliary ducts as well as cystic and pancreatic ducts.
