The liver secretes bile into the left and right hepatic ducts, which join to form the common hepatic duct. The cystic duct leaves the gallbladder and joins the common hepatic duct to form the common bile duct, which connects to the small intestine. There is a sphincter that controls the bile flow from the common bile duct to the small intestine, and when it's contracted, the bile that is secreted from the liver travels up the cystic duct to be stored in the gallbladder.

liver...no not really

When the duodenum does not need bile the Sphincter of bile duct is closed and the bile flows back up into the gall bladder. When you eat, certain hormones are released which will the relax this sphincter as well as the sphincter of pancreatic duct and the hepatopancreatic ampulla sphincter and bile will flow into the duodenum.

Which organ in the body responsible for the storage of bile?

The gallbladder is the sac-like structure under the liver that stores about 30-50 ml of bile. The liver produces bile, and the gallbladder stores it. From there it is excreted, travels down the bile duct, where it passes through the pancreas, which produces lipase (which does break down fat), before it goes into your small intestine. The gallbladder releases bile into the duodenum, part of the small intestine, to aid in the digestion of fats. Bile emulsifies the fats, or breaks them into smaller particles, to assist in their digestion. If the bile salts crystallize, you get gallstones.The gallbladder will release bile only under the influence of cholecystokinin. When the chyme (food leaving the stomach after processing) passes through the plyoric sphincter (valve muscle connecting the doudenum to the pylorus (bottom part of stomach), this hormone is released, and the bile is released into the doudenum through a series of ducts that also lead from the pancreas, so the enzymes for further digestion can enter as well.Common Bile Ductsmall intestineAlthough the gallbladder does not make the bile, it is where the bile is stored.The gallbladder stores bile in the body until it is needed in the digestive process. When spicy or fatty foods are eaten, the gallbladder will release the bile into the stomach to help with the digestion.


What instruments and supplies will be needed to enter the common bile duct for CBDE?

For exploring the common bile duct a variety of ductal (Randall stone) forceps and stone "scoops" (Mayo, Moynihan, or More) are available. The surgeon may also request Potts scissors for opening the duct, a Lachey duct forceps to clamp the duct, and a set of sequentially sized ductal dilators (Bakes #3-#10). To decompress the gallbladder, an Ochsner gallbladder trocar is used.


Why goats don't need gallbladder?

A gallbladder is only really needed for meat eaters. The liver produces ample bile and releases it into the intestine as needed for fat digestion. Since goats only ingest plant fats, very little bile is needed compared to what a carnivore ingesting animal fats requires. The only real function of a gallbladder is to serve as a reservoir for bile so plenty is available when large amounts of fat enter the intestine. So, vegetarian animals do just fine without one.

Why do bile and pancreatic juice enter the duodenum through a common duct?

The pancreatic ducts (Wirsung, and sometimes when present the Santorini) enter the duodenum. The gallbladder duct proper is called the cystic duct, and it joins the main hepatic duct to form the choledochal duct. The choledochal duct in turns joins with Wirsung's duct in the head of the pancreas to enter the duodenum through the major papilla. None of these structures enter the colon.

Where does bile act in the alimentary canal?

Bile does not act in the alimentary canal until fatty foods enter the duodenum. The bile is produced in the liver, and then held in the gallbladder until it is needed.
