How does bile enter the gallbladder Since bile is made in the liver and travels down the common bile duct how does it go back up into the gallbladder?
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.

Bile duct obstruction?
DefinitionBile duct obstruction is a blockage in the tubes that carry bile from the liver to the gallbladder and small intestine.See also:Acute cholecystitisCholedocholithiasisGallstonesAlternative NamesBiliary obstructionCauses, incidence, and risk factorsBile is a liquid released by the liver. It contains cholesterol, bile salts, and waste products such as bilirubin. Bile salts help your body break down (digest) fats. Bile passes out of the liver through the bile ducts and is stored in the gallbladder. After a meal, it is released into the small intestine.When the bile ducts become blocked, bile builds up in the liver, and jaundice(yellow color of the skin) develops due to the increasing levels of bilirubin in the blood.The possible causes of a blocked bile duct include:Cysts of the common bile ductEnlarged lymp nodes in the porta hepatisGallstonesInflammation of the bile ductsTrauma including injury from gallbladder surgeryTumors of the bile ducts or pancreasOther tumors that have spread to the biliary systemThe risk factors include:History of gallstones, chronic pancreatitis, or pancreatic cancerInjury to the abdominal areaRecent biliary surgeryRecent biliary cancer (such as bile duct cancer)The blockage can also be caused by infections. This is more common in persons with weakened immune systems.SymptomsAbdominal painin the upper right sideDark urineFeverItchingJaundice (yellow skin color)Nausea and vomitingPale-colored stoolsSigns and testsYour health care provider will examine your abdomen and may be able to feel the gallbladder.The following blood test results could be a sign of a possible blockage:Increased bilirubin levelIncreased alkaline phosphatase levelIncreased liver enzymesThe following tests may be used to investigate a possible blocked bile duct:Abdominal ultrasoundAbdominal CT scanERCP(endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography)Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiogram (PTCA)Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP)A blocked bile duct may also alter the results of the following tests:Amylase blood testGallbladder radionuclide scanUrine bilirubinTreatmentThe goal of treatment is to relieve the blockage. Stones may be removed using an endoscope during an ERCP.In some cases, surgery is required to bypass the blockage. The gallbladder will usually be surgically removed if the blockage is caused by gallstones. Your health care provider may prescribe antibiotics if an infection is suspected.If the blockage is caused by cancer, the duct may need to be widened. This procedure is called endoscope or percutaneous (through the skin next to the liver) dilation. A tube may need to be placed to allow drainage.Expectations (prognosis)If the blockage is not corrected, it can lead to life-threatening infection and a dangerous buildup of bilirubin.If the blockage lasts a long time, chronic liver disease can result. Most obstructions can be treated with endoscopy or surgery. Obstructions caused by cancer often have a worse outcome.ComplicationsLeft untreated, the possible complications include infections, sepsis, and liver disease, such as biliary cirrhosis.Calling your health care providerCall your health care provider if you notice a change in the color of your urine and stools or you develop jaundice.PreventionBe aware of any risk factors you have, so that you can get prompt diagnosis and treatment if a bile duct becomes blocked. The blockage itself may not be preventable.ReferencesAttasaranya S, Fogel EL.. Choledocholithiasis, ascending cholangitis, and gallstone pancreatitis.

How do you seal duct vents?
With duct tape I install and maintain duct work for a living if you want to seal the joints just wrap the tape around the duct. If you need to cover a hole you will need to screw a piece of metal on the duct over the hole and tape over the edges of your patch. this is the simplest and cheapest way I know to do it.
