What is the structure that connects the liver the gallbladder and pancreas?
The hepatic ducts leave the liver and combine to form the common hepatic duct. The gall bladder is connected to the cystic duct which combines with the hepatic duct to form the bile duct, this duct leads to the duodenum.
The common bile duct is formed by the connection of what two ducts?
The Cystic duct from the gallbladder and the Common Hepatic duct from the liver
Which duct connects liver small intestine?
The ducts that connect the liver to the small intestine are used to deliver bile. Bile is an acid containing enzymes that can break down fats, and carry away wastes during digestion. it helps clense and clean the intestines while invloved in the breakdowns of the bugger lipids. Hope this helps, sincerely Stefano.
What is hepatic hilum?
The central part of the liver, where common hepatic duct, hepatic artery and portal vein enter into the liver is called Hepatic hilum or porta hepatis. It is also the most common site of cholangiocarcinoma or Klatskin Tumour of bile duct.
What is the Pathway of bile from gallbladder to duodenum?
Liver -> right and left hepatic ducts -> common hepatic duct -> cystic duct -> gall bladder.
What is the relationship between bile ducts and hepatic ducts?
The "hepatic ducts" carry bile through the liver to the junction with the "cystic duct" (which flows both ways to the gall bladder). The final connection to the intestine is through the "common bile duct". So that while "bile duct" can refer to any of these tubes, the more specific "hepatic duct" refers to the tubes directly from the producing glands in the liver. (see related link)
Biliary drainage of caudate lobe of human liver?
Caudate lobe drains into Left and Right Hepatic ducts; don't get confused with the Quadrate lobe of the liver which drains only into the Left hepatic duct.
Where does the hepatic duct lead?
There are two hepatic ducts one from each lobe of the liver. They converge to form the common hepatic duct which then leads to the common bile duct. This leads through the sphincter of Oddi and the ampulla of Vater into the duodenum portion of the small intestine. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_hepatic_duct#mediaviewer/File:Biliary_system_new.svg
What is the function of liver in production?
The function of the liver is that it creates it. It has special cells called hepatocytes to produce it. And then it sends it on its way to be stored in the gall bladder or drained directly into the stomach to assist in digestion of fats. There is a whole interconnected system of ductwork that the liver uses for the bile to travel down - usually called the biliary tree. Bile is first collected from the cells in the bile canaliculi, which merge into bile ducts, then the left and right hepatic ducts, and then the common hepatic duct. From there - it can either swing into the gall bladder via the cystic duct, or continue downward into common bile duct - which connects into the duodenum.
Trace the flow of bile from the liver to the duodenum listing all of the structure that come into contact with the bile on its journey.?
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.
Where does the digestive tract start and end in a fetal pig?
The hepatic duct and the cystic duct extend from the gallbladder and merge to form the common bile duct which carries bile to and from the gallbladder.(Bile is collected in tiny ducts that merge to form the bile ducts of the hepatic triads, which, in turn, join to form the hepatic duct, which carries bile from the liver)
Why the quadrate process of liver is called quadrate?
There are four lobes in the liver called the hepatic quadrates
