title: [The structure of the terminal portions of the biliary tract of the liver and ductular hyperplasia].
abstract: It is reasonable to introduce in to the liver section of International Histological Nomenclature the term of "terminal hepatic bed" that includes interlobular bile duct, interloular (intraportal), perilobular (periportal) and intralobular bit ductules, bile canaliculus (Hering canaliculus) and bile capillary. Bile ductules and canaliculi are of the special semantic meaning in the hierarchical system of terminal biliary bed. The former may form the so-called "ductular expansions" playing compensatory-adaptive role in diverse cholestatic states. The latter are unique intercalary regions between bile capillaries of hepatic and bile ductules cholangiocytes. Hepatocyte and cholangiocyte epithelia forming the wall of terminal biliary bed--two sharply different in structure and function tissues--possess high biological tolerance in cholestasis.
