For cell biology, vesicles are organelles isolated from the cytoplasm by a lipid layer.
The gallbladder is a small bladder . The term comes from the Latin vesicŭla which, in turn, is the diminutive of vesīca (it can be translated precisely as "bladder" ).
A vesicle can be a formation located in the epidermis that is usually filled with lipid content. For cell biology , however, vesicles are an organelle isolated from the cytoplasm by a membrane-like lipid layer. Its function is to store, move and process cellular products and waste.
The gallbladder
The gallbladder , on the other hand, is an organ that is located below the liver and is one of the components of the digestive system of Homo sapiens and some animals. This small viscus (it measures between five and seven centimeters), with a pear-like appearance, is intended to house bile (produced by the liver and necessary for the digestive process).
This organ is connected to the duodenum through the bile duct, composed of the cystic duct and the common bile duct. These ducts allow bile to pass into the duodenum.
The formation of stones or stones is a common disorder in the gallbladder.
The calculations
The gallbladder is characterized by disorders caused by the formation of stones or stones that lodge inside and block the bile duct. Swelling of the gallbladder is known as cholecystitis and can be treated with medications (to seek dissolution of the stones) or by surgery.
As we have explained, one of the most common diseases that can occur in the gallbladder are the so-called gallstones . These occur when certain substances that exist in this organ in question harden and this causes the patient to suffer a series of symptoms that show the existence of those mentioned. Specifically, among the most common symptoms are nausea or pain in the back, right arm or abdomen .
Overweight people or older adults are the individuals who can be most affected by this pathology, also known as cholelithiasis, which frequently requires the patient to undergo removal of the gallbladder, that is, to its removal. However, this does not represent any type of problem since it is not essential for life since, since it does not exist, the bile will use other routes to reach the small intestine.
In addition to all the above, we can say that stones, in turn, can be affected by a series of complications such as carcinoma, which is a type of cancer, mucocele, empyema, which is defined as an accumulation of pus, Biliary colic or cholecystitis. This latter pathology basically consists of what is an inflammation of the wall of the aforementioned gallbladder and its main symptoms are severe pain, cold sweating, nausea and also vomiting of varying intensity.
Other uses of the term vesicle
Another use of the term vesicle appears in botany to refer to the air-filled blister that some plants that live in the aquatic environment have. These vesicles are located on the stem or leaves.
For geology , finally, a vesicle is an opening in a lava flow that is generated by the escape of gases.
