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.
The joining of the cystic and hepatic ducts forms the common bile duct, which carries bile from the liver and gallbladder to the small intestine to aid in digestion.
cystic fibrosis
Cystic Fibrosis, a fatal genetic disorder in which excessive amounts of mucus are secreted, blocking intestinal and bronchial ducts and causing difficulty in breathing.

Yes it can, the thick and viscous mucus can block the sperm ducts for example and can therefore lead to sterility, as the sperm cannot be released.
These ducts are tubules and ducts that connect the nephrons to the ureter.
It is a depression where vessels, nerves or ducts enter a bodily organ
Cystic Fibrosis
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.
The sequence of amino acids in cystic fibrosis is caused by a mutation in the CFTR gene, which leads to the production of a faulty cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator protein. This mutated protein results in abnormal function, leading to the characteristic symptoms of cystic fibrosis such as thick mucus production.
