Bile canaliculus (plural:bile canaliculi; also called bile capillaries) is a thin tube that collects
bile secreted by
hepatocytes. The bile canaliculi merge and form bile ductules, which eventually become
common hepatic duct.Hepatocytes are
polyhedral in shape, therefore having no set shape or design. They have surfaces facing the
sinusoids, (called sinusoidal faces) and surfaces which contact other hepatocytes, (called lateral faces). Bile Canaliculi are formed by grooves on some of the lateral faces of these
hepatocytes.
