Carries bile into the duodenum?
Bile is made in the liver and passes through bile ducts and into the common hepatic duct which carries it out of the liver. From here, it can pass down the common bile duct into the duodenum or take a detour into the gallbladder via the cystic duct.
What carries biles into the duodenum?
The gallbladder stores bile and when it is needed it is excreted through the common bile duct and joins the duodenum at the ampulla of vater.The gallbladder stores bile and when it is needed it is excreted through the common bile duct and joins the duodenum at the ampulla of vater.Bile is made in the liver and passes through bile ducts and into the common hepatic duct which carries it out of the liver.

Endoscopic retrograde cholangio pancreatography (ERCP) - series?
Normal anatomyThe stomach leads to the first part of the small intestine, also called the duodenum. The common bile duct carries bile from the liver to the duodenum, and enters the duodenum a few centimeters beyond the stomach.IndicationGallstones usually form in the gallbladder. Gallstones sometimes pass from the gallbladder into the common bile duct, and block the flow of bile into the duodenum. This can result in serious illness. Additionally, tumors of the pancreas and duodenum can block the bile duct, also preventing the flow of bile into the duodenum.Procedure, part 1ERCP is a technique in which an endoscope, with a camera on its end, is passed down the esophagus, through the stomach, and into the duodenum. The entrance of the common bile duct into the duodenum can be viewed through the endoscope. Next, the surgeon can pass a special instrument on the end of the endoscope into the common bile duct as it enters the duodenum. Dye is injected through this instrument into the common bile duct; this allows for the visualization of gallstones by X-ray.Procedure, part 2If gallstones are present in the common bile duct, the surgeon can perfom a sphincterotomy. A small incision is made through the endoscope, which enlarges the opening of the common bile duct into the duodenum. The stones can then pass through.Procedure, part 3If a tumor is present and constricting the bile duct, a plastic or metal stent can be placed into the bile duct, thus holding it open, and allowing bile to pass through.Reviewed ByReview Date: 07/06/2009Reviewed by David Zieve, MD, MHA, Medical Director, A.D.A.M., Inc.

Do you pass gallstones through your urine or your bowels?
Gallstones, if passing through the bile duct, enter the intestine and are then passed through the bowels. Kidney stones, however, would pass through the ureter, bladder and urethra, into the urine.
What is the medical term meaning examination of the bile duct structure using a needle to pass directly into an intrahepatic bile duct to inject a contrast medium?
Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography
Why do you get jaundice from gallstones?
Gallstones can cause pancreatitis. It is statistically one of the most common causes of pancreatitis. Gallstones are usually formed in the gallbladder (in some conditions, they may arise directly in hepatic bile ducts, but this is an uncommon occurrence related to bile duct pathology or prior cholecystectomy). One or more may be expelled into the cystic duct, and from there to the choledochal duct, which joins the main pancreatic duct (Wirsung's duct) to pass through the ampulla of Vater into the greater papilla into the second part of the duodenum. The gallstone may obstruct passage at any of these points, resulting in different clinical presentations, ranging from biliary colic to pancreatitis.
How do the secretions produced by the accessory structures enter the gastrointestinal tract?
Secretions from the liver (bile and enzymes) will pass through the common hepatic duct and reaches the pancreatic duct. pancreatic juices from the pancreas will also flow to the pancreatic duct. both will be flowing to the duodenum through a small opening in the duodenum.
What happens to fats as they pass through the duodenum?
As fats move through the duodenum,the pancreatic duct introduces bile and pancreatic juice.As fats are insoluble and cannot be digested,the bile salt surrounds the fats and make it make it becomes soluble and the fats can then be absorbed by the blood.
What is bile and where does it come from?
Bile comes from your liver and passes through a common bile duct either to be stored temporarily in your gallbladder or to pass into your intestine. If you have to have your gallbladder removed your liver just passes the bile directly into your intestine.
What is duct in anatomy?
It is a tube, by which some fluid pass through and reaches the other organ. Eg. Bile duct is a tube like structure connecting liver to Intestine which carries bile juice (fluid) for digestion.
Where are Gallstones found?
Most gallstones remain in the gallbladder where they cause no symptoms. Sometimes they may pass into and obstruct the bile duct, which may lead to a variety of problems.
Can men get gallstones in their testicles?
Gallstone formation is seen in twice as many women as men
