“Bile produced in the liver leaves through the ____ duct. Bile enters the duodenum from the gallbladder through the ____ duct.”
A
hepatic
B
sphincter
C
pancreatic
D
cystic
E
bile
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -When the liver cells secrete bile, it is collected by a system of ducts that flow from the liver through the right and left hepatic ducts. 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.

Detailed explanation-2: -The common bile duct passes through the pancreas before it empties into the first part of the small intestine (duodenum). The lower part of the common bile duct joins the pancreatic duct to form a channel called the ampulla of Vater or it may enter the duodenum directly.

Detailed explanation-3: -This is called the common hepatic duct. The gallbladder is a collection sac for bile, which enters and leaves through a narrow tube called the cystic duct. The gallbladder is about the size of an egg when full. The bile duct below the cystic duct is usually called the common bile duct.

Detailed explanation-4: -The smallest ducts, called ductules, come together to form the right and left hepatic ducts, which lead out of the liver. The two ducts join outside the liver and form the common hepatic duct. The cystic duct from the gallbladder joins the common hepatic duct to form the common bile duct.
