Common Hepatic 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.
In pigs, the duct from the gallbladder is called the cystic duct, which merges with the common hepatic duct to form the common bile duct. This common bile duct then carries bile from the liver and gallbladder to the duodenum for digestion.
The bile duct transports bile from the gallbladder to the small intestine.
The duct that leaves the gallbladder is called the cystic duct. It joins with the common hepatic duct to form the common bile duct, which carries bile from the gallbladder to the small intestine to aid in digestion.
the bile duct
The bile duct leads to the small intestine, specifically the duodenum. It carries bile, a digestive fluid produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder, which helps in the digestion and absorption of fats from the food we eat.
Bile flows into the cystic duct and then is stored in the gallbladder where it is concentrated.
The gallbladder is the organ responsible for releasing bile into the small intestine. The liver produces the bile, but the gallbladder stores it. The gallbladder releases the bile through the common bile duct where it then leads into the duodenum, the first section of the small intestine.
The common bile duct
The Cystic duct from the gallbladder and the Common Hepatic duct from the liver
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 opens into the duodenum (the first part of the small intestines).
