[Morphological characteristics of the urinary bladder glandular apparatus at different stages of postnatal ontogenesis].

Total preparations of the urinary bladder wall obtained from 130 corpses of humans of both sexes and various ages, who died by chance cause, were examined with the macro-microscopical method. Morphometry was used to study the structural characteristics of the glands of this organ in the different parts of its wall (proximal, medial and distal thirds of the urinary bladder). The diversity of the appearance of the glands was noted; the greatest variability of glandular shape variants was detected at the age of 22-35 years.
