interlobar duct , auch: interlobular duct

It is smaller than an interlobar duct.

For example, it can be difficult to precisely distinguish between an interlobar duct and an interlobular duct.

A interlobar duct is a gland duct which connects more than one anatomic lobe.

Interlobular bile ducts (between the interlobar ducts and the lobules) - simple columnar epithelium.

These drain into ducts situated between the lobes of the gland (called interlobar ducts or secretory ducts).

Interlobar ducts (between the main hepatic ducts and the interlobular ducts) - pseudostratified columnar epithelium.

Some sources consider "lobar" ducts to be the same as "interlobar ducts", while others consider lobar ducts to be larger and more distal from the acinus.

For sources that make the distinction, the interlobar ducts are more likely to classified with simple columnar epithelium (or pseudostratified epithelium), reserving the stratified columnar for the lobar ducts.
