Liver
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 empties into the duodenum, which is the first part of the small intestine. This connection allows bile produced in the liver and stored in the gallbladder to be released into the digestive system to aid in the digestion and absorption of fats.
The ampulla of vater (hapetopancreatic ampulla) is joinigbetween the bile duct and the main pancreatic duct .It is located in the abdomen between the pancreas and the second part of the duodenum , which is the first part of the small intestine.
Distinguishing feature of the duodenum are the Brunner's glands, whereas the Peyer's patches make the ileum easily identificable. The common bile duct and the pancreatic duct enter the duodenum, whereas the ileum does not receive duct from other organs. Outermost layer of the duodenum is comprised of adventitia as it is located retroperitoneally, while the outermost layer of the ileum is represented by serosa(mesothelial cell are evident). The ileum has also more goblet cells than the duodenum. Duodenum represents major site of iron absorption, while the ileum-B12 absorption.
Pancreatic digestive juices are carried by a tube-like structure known as the pancreatic duct.
The sphincter at the distal end of the common bile duct that controls the flow of bile into the duodenum is called the sphincter of Oddi. This muscular structure regulates the release of bile and pancreatic juice into the small intestine, aiding in digestion. It opens in response to hormonal signals, particularly when food enters the duodenum.
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.
From the gallbladder and liver into the duodenum.
part of the small intestine called the duodenum.
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. From here, it can pass down the common bile duct into the duodenum or take a detour into the gallbladder via the cystic duct.bile ductThe bile duct.
