What is ductus of choledoccus?
The ductus (duct) of the choledochus is another term for the common bile duct. It is a tube that carries bile from the liver and gallbladder to the small intestine, where it aids in digestion and helps with the absorption of fats. In cases of blockage or obstruction, it can lead to health issues such as jaundice.
What happens if there's a blockage in the gallbladder?
A blockage of the tube leading out of your gallbladder is called the cystic duct and joins with another tube leading out of your liver (called the common hepatic duct) to create the common bile duct. A blockage in the cystic duct will give you biliary colic, wave like pain starting under your right ribs and spreading across to your left especially when you eat fatty foods. If this gets infected, you will get cholecystitis with fever, pain, chills and shakes. If you get a blockage in the common bile duct, you will get fever, pain, chills and shakes plus you will become jaundiced (yellow).

Duct transporting bile from gallbladder to common bile duct?
The duct that transports bile from the gallbladder to the common bile duct is called the cystic duct. It is a small tube that connects the gallbladder to the common bile duct, allowing bile produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder to flow into the small intestine for digestion.

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.
