The hepatopancreatic ampulla, also known as the ampulla of Vater, is a crucial anatomical structure in the digestive system where the bile duct and the main pancreatic duct converge and empty into the duodenum. Its primary function is to regulate the flow of bile and pancreatic juices into the small intestine, facilitating the digestion and absorption of nutrients. This structure is surrounded by the sphincter of Oddi, which controls the release of these digestive fluids in response to the presence of food in the intestine. Proper functioning of the hepatopancreatic ampulla is essential for effective digestion.

The swollen area of the semicircular canal is known as the ampulla. Each of the three semicircular canals in the inner ear has an ampulla at its base, which contains sensory hair cells and supporting cells. These structures are responsible for detecting rotational movements of the head and help maintain balance and spatial orientation. The ampulla is crucial for the vestibular system's function, contributing to our sense of equilibrium.
