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.
The bile duct opens into the duodenum (the first part of the small intestines).
Liver -> right and left hepatic ducts -> common hepatic duct -> cystic duct -> gall bladder.
The gallbladder is connected to the intestine by the bile ducts.
The bile duct carries bile from the gallbladder and the liver to the duodenum. Bile helps to break down fats in the food we eat.
The bile is stored in the gallbladder and after it leaves the gallbladder it travels to the duodenum. Bile is a very powerful antioxidant which helps in removingÊ toxins from the liver.
part of the small intestine called the duodenum.
The hepatocytes in the liver produce bile, which then flows through the left and right hepatic ducts to the common hepatic duct. Once the common hepatic duct is filled, the bile flows into the cystic duct and then into the gallbladder where it is stored. The gallbladder allows the bile to flow back into the cystic duct and then the common bile duct which empties into the duodenum.
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.
The three accessory organs of digestion are the liver, pancreas, and gallbladder.The liver delivers bile to the duodenum (the first section of the small intestine) first through the hepatic duct and then through the common bile duct. (It also delivers bile to the gallbladder to get concentrated through the cystic duct.)The pancreas delivers digestive enzymes to the duodenum through the common bile duct.The gallbladder delivers concentrated bile to the duodenum first through the cystic duct and then through the common bile duct.
