MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -These ducts ultimately drain into the common hepatic duct. 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-2: -The common hepatic duct and the cystic duct join to form the common bile duct. The cystic duct connects the gallbladder (a small organ that stores bile) to the common bile duct.

Detailed explanation-3: -During digestion, bile is released by the gallbladder into the cystic duct. The cystic duct joins with the common hepatic duct to form the bile duct. Bile then travels through the bile duct towards the duodenum of the small intestine.

Detailed explanation-4: -It consists mainly of bile salts, phospholipids, cholesterol, conjugated bilirubin, electrolytes, and water [1]. Bile travels through the liver in a series of ducts, eventually exiting through the common hepatic duct. Bile flows through this duct into the gallbladder, where it is concentrated and stored.
