What does juxtaductal mean?

Juxtaductal refers to a location or position that is adjacent to or near a duct, often used in medical contexts to describe tissues or structures located next to a duct, such as a bile duct or a lymphatic duct. This term is commonly applied in anatomy and pathology to specify the relationship between different anatomical features. For example, juxtaductal lesions may occur in tissues surrounding a duct, influencing the duct's function or indicating disease processes.


What is the normal size of the Common hepatic duct?

The normal diameter of the common hepatic duct is typically around 4-5 mm. Variations in size can occur based on individual anatomy and health conditions.


Describe the gross anatomy bilary tree?

The biliary tree is a system of thin-walled tubes that transport bile from the liver to the small intestine. It consists of the intrahepatic bile ducts within the liver, the extrahepatic bile ducts (common hepatic duct, common bile duct, and cystic duct), and the gallbladder. The main function of the biliary tree is to store and transport bile produced by the liver for the digestion of fats.


Why does the right lymphatic duct only drain the right upper quadrant and not the entire right side?

The thoracic duct runs between the esophagus and the aorta and drains the other three quadrants (including the lower right side). Since it is medial there is no need for the right lymphatic duct to continue into the lower quadrant. Often in biology there is no obvious why - that's why anatomy is frustrating. Good luck!


The common bile duct consist of?

cystic duct and the hepatic duct


Is four millimeters normal size for bile duct?

Yes, a bile duct measuring around four millimeters is generally considered to be within the normal size range. Normal bile duct diameter can vary but typically falls between 1 to 7 millimeters in adults. Factors such as age and individual anatomy can influence these measurements, so it's always best to consult a healthcare professional for specific concerns.


What is an ampulla?
