GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -When fats and proteins enter your small intestine, cholecystokinin triggers your gallbladder and pancreas to contract. They deliver bile and enzymes to your duodenum to help break down the food for absorption.

Detailed explanation-2: -About 50% of the bile produced by the liver is first stored in the gallbladder. This is a pear-shaped organ located directly below the liver. Then, when food is eaten, the gallbladder contracts and releases stored bile into the duodenum to help break down the fats.

Detailed explanation-3: -Bile Duct System and Gallbladder The bile duct (biliary) system provides the channels through which bile is transported from the liver to the duodenum (through the papilla of Vater).

Detailed explanation-4: -A tube that carries bile from the liver and gallbladder, through the pancreas, and into the small intestine. The common bile duct starts where the ducts from the liver and gallbladder join and ends at the small intestine.
