Wharton's duct is a tubular structure that empties the submaxillary salivary gland - located underneath your lower jaw - to the space just under your tongue around the area where it is connected to the bottom of your mouth by the lingual frenum. Sometimes you can develop a salivary stone (similar to a kidney stone) in these ducts that must be removed by an oral surgeon.

Why do bile and pancreatic juice enter the duodenum through a common duct?
The pancreatic ducts (Wirsung, and sometimes when present the Santorini) enter the duodenum. The gallbladder duct proper is called the cystic duct, and it joins the main hepatic duct to form the choledochal duct. The choledochal duct in turns joins with Wirsung's duct in the head of the pancreas to enter the duodenum through the major papilla. None of these structures enter the colon.
