the duodenum
The common bile duct empties into the duodenum, which is the first part of the small intestine. This connection allows bile produced in the liver and stored in the gallbladder to be released into the digestive system to aid in the digestion and absorption of fats.
According to my old A&P book, the Thoracic duct (aka left lymphatic duct) collects most of the lymph in the body and drains into the circalatory system, between the left subclavian and left internal jugular veins via the left brachiocephalic vein. The right arm, right side of the chest, neck and head and lower left lobe of the lung is collected by the right lymphatic duct.
The area of the duodenum where the common bile duct and the pancreatic duct empty is called the major duodenal papilla. This is where bile and pancreatic enzymes are released into the duodenum to aid in digestion.
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.
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.

part of the small intestine called the duodenum.
The duodenum, through a site shared with the pancreas
The gall bladder releases bile into the duodenum, which is the part of the small intestine that the stomach empties into.
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.

Liver
The stomach empties into the duodenum. The liver secretes bile into the common hepatic duct. If the sphincter choledochus is closed (it usually is), then the bile refluxes into the gall bladder through the cystic duct. When the sphincter of choledochus opens - with a general opening of the Sphincter of Oddi, the bile is secreted into the duodenum. Both empty into the duodenum.
The common bile duct and the pancreatic duct join together to form the ampulla of Vater, also known as the hepatopancreatic ampulla. This structure empties into the duodenum and regulates the flow of bile and pancreatic juices into the small intestine for digestion.
The bile duct carries bile to the proximal duodenum (the first part of the small intestines) and to the gall bladder (in most species).
