This paper focusses on pratical problems which may also prove to be of
theoretical importance, by presenting a method of establishing an exa
ct topometry of the intrahepatic bile ducts. Measurements were made on
corrosive casts of the intrahepatic bile ducts from 13 human livers.
On the basis of the topometric results presented it is possible to con
struct an adequate model by means of plastic tubes and to use it for t
he study of bile flow.
