the common bile duct
The three accessory organs of digestion are the liver, pancreas, and gallbladder.The liver delivers bile to the duodenum (the first section of the small intestine) first through the hepatic duct and then through the common bile duct. (It also delivers bile to the gallbladder to get concentrated through the cystic duct.)The pancreas delivers digestive enzymes to the duodenum through the common bile duct.The gallbladder delivers concentrated bile to the duodenum first through the cystic duct and then through the common bile duct.
The common bile duct is the structure that empties bile into the duodenum. It combines bile from the liver and gallbladder and carries it to the duodenum to aid in digestion.
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 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.
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 carries bile to the proximal duodenum (the first part of the small intestines) and to the gall bladder (in most species).
The common bile duct carries bile from the liver to the duodenum. It merges with the pancreatic duct at the ampulla of Vater before entering the duodenum through the major duodenal papilla. The bile aids in the digestion and absorption of fats in the small intestine.
The common bile duct
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.

The liver has a duct, called the common bile duct, that delivers bile through an opening into the small intestine, the duodenum, called the major duodenal papilla. This duct is joined by the pancreatic duct as they both transport their products into the small intestine.
A few inches into the duodenum is the hepato-pancreatic ampulla, which is the site where the pancreatic duct and the common bile duct of the liver enter.
The bile duct opens into the duodenum (the first part of the small intestines).
