SHOW ALL QUESTIONS
Cholangiocytes are the epithelial cells of the bile duct.[1] They are cuboidal epithelium in the small interlobular bile ducts, but become columnar and carbonate-secreting in larger bile ducts approaching the porta hepatis and the extrahepatic ducts. They contribute to hepatocyte survival by transporting bile acids.
