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 gallbladder attached to?
It is attached to liver and small intestine.
How is liver connected to lumen of gut?
The liver has a duct, called the common bile duct, that delivers bile through an opening into the small intestine, the duodenum, called the major duodenal papilla. This duct is joined by the pancreatic duct as they both transport their products into the small intestine.
Duct transporting bile from gallbladder to common bile duct?
The duct that transports bile from the gallbladder to the common bile duct is called the cystic duct. It is a small tube that connects the gallbladder to the common bile duct, allowing bile produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder to flow into the small intestine for digestion.
What is the area of the small intestine called where liquids from the liver and pancreas enter?
pancreatic duct
What portion of he small intestioe does the gallbladder connect to?
The gallbladder connects to the duodenum, which is the first part of the small intestine. Specifically, it connects to the duodenum via the common bile duct, which carries bile from the gallbladder to aid in digestion.
Which part of the small intestine receives bile from the gallbladder and liver?
The first part of the small intestine, or duodenum, is where the small intestine receives bile to help digest fats.
What releases bile into the small intestine?
The gallbladder is the organ responsible for releasing bile into the small intestine. The liver produces the bile, but the gallbladder stores it. The gallbladder releases the bile through the common bile duct where it then leads into the duodenum, the first section of the small intestine.
What receive enzyme and bile from other organs?
The duodenum (part of the small intestine) is where the hepatopancreatic duct (common duct from the liver and pancreas) empties both bile and enzymes from the pancreas for chemical digestion.The duodenum or small intestine.
What is attached to the hepatic duct?
Hepatic duct is attached with liver. The union of hepatic duct and cystic duct forms common bile duct.
Does the bile duct join the small intestine at the duodenum?
A few inches into the duodenum is the hepato-pancreatic ampulla, which is the site where the pancreatic duct and the common bile duct of the liver enter.
What connects the liver and cystic duct?

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.
