Bile is produced in the liver and stored in the gall bladder.
The bile duct transports bile from the gallbladder to the small intestine.
The bile duct connects the pancreas and the gall bladder.
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.
what causes a twisted bile duct
no because bile is stored in the bile duct
Liver
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.
Bile is produced in liver, stored in gallbladder and excreted into small intestine through the bile duct to aid lipid digestion. Bile pigment is a component of bile.
The duodenal ampulla is formed by the fusion of the pancreatic duct (duct of Wirsung) with the common bile duct (duct of the liver). This union occurs at a structure called the hepatopancreatic ampulla (ampulla of Vater).
The hepatocytes in the liver produce bile, which then flows through the left and right hepatic ducts to the common hepatic duct. Once the common hepatic duct is filled, the bile flows into the cystic duct and then into the gallbladder where it is stored. The gallbladder allows the bile to flow back into the cystic duct and then the common bile duct which empties into the duodenum.
"no bile duct dilation" means the diameter if the bile duct is normal.
The hepatic ducts leave the liver and combine to form the common hepatic duct. The gall bladder is connected to the cystic duct which combines with the hepatic duct to form the bile duct, this duct leads to the duodenum.
