There are two hepatic ducts one from each lobe of the liver. They converge to form the common hepatic duct which then leads to the common bile duct. This leads through the sphincter of Oddi and the ampulla of Vater into the duodenum portion of the small intestine. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_hepatic_duct#mediaviewer/File:Biliary_system_new.svg
