What do dilated intrahepatic bile ducts indicate?
Dilated intrahepatic bile ducts usually indicate an abnormal blockage downstream. Intrahepatic bile ducts are the small bile ducts in the liver that collect the liver cells' bile for transport to the larger bile ducts that become a single bile duct.
What ducts empty into the duodenal ampulla?
The common bile duct and main pancreatic duct both empty into the duodenal ampulla. These ducts facilitate the transport of bile and pancreatic enzymes into the duodenum to aid in digestion.
What is the Pathway of bile from gallbladder to duodenum?
Bile is produced in the liver, stored in the gallbladder, and released into the duodenum. When fats are detected in the duodenum, the hormone cholecystokinin triggers the gallbladder to contract, releasing bile into the small intestine through the common bile duct. From there, bile helps with the digestion and absorption of fats in the small intestine.
What is attached to the hepatic duct?

What is hepaticocholangiocholecystenterostomies?

What is formed by the joining of the cystic and heptic ducts?

What is another name for small bile ducts?
Another name for small bile ducts are intrahepatic bile ducts. These ducts help carry bile from the liver cells to the larger bile ducts in the liver.
How does bile leave the hepatocytes?
The bile produced by hepatocytes drains into canaliculi, which are small channels that take the bile to the bile ductules. These eventually merge to become the common bile duct, which opens into the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine).
Which duct connects liver small intestine?

What is the medical term meaning hard deposit formed in the gallbladder and bile ducts due to concretion of bile components?
That is called a gallstone.
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)
