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.
Bile empties into the second portion of the duodenum.

common bile ductThe common bile duct.
Bile is made in the liver and passes through bile ducts and into the common hepatic duct which carries it out of the liver. From here, it can pass down the common bile duct into the duodenum or take a detour into the gallbladder via the cystic duct.
The bile duct.
the common bile duct
The cystic duct lies between the gallbladder and the common bile duct. Its' function is to transport bile from the gall bladder to the common bile duct.
Choledochotomy is the medical term meaning surgical incision into the common bile duct.
The Cystic duct from the gallbladder and the Common Hepatic duct from the liver
The gallbladder stores bile and when it is needed it is excreted through the common bile duct and joins the duodenum at the ampulla of vater.The gallbladder stores bile and when it is needed it is excreted through the common bile duct and joins the duodenum at the ampulla of vater.Bile is made in the liver and passes through bile ducts and into the common hepatic duct which carries it out of the liver.

Common bile duct
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).
