GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -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. It is part of the biliary system.

Detailed explanation-3: -The cystic duct connects the gallbladder (a small organ that stores bile) to the common bile duct. The common bile duct passes through the pancreas before it empties into the first part of the small intestine (duodenum).

Detailed explanation-4: -The common hepatic duct then joins with the cystic duct from the gallbladder to form the common bile duct. This runs from the liver to the duodenum (the first section of the small intestine).

Detailed explanation-5: -The common bile duct passes through the pancreas and ends in the small intestine. Bile is made by the liver and stored in the gallbladder. When food is being digested, bile is released from the gallbladder and passes through the pancreas into the small intestine, where it helps digest fats.
