THORAX ABDOMEN AND PELVIS

Detailed explanation-1: -The Biliary System: Anatomy and Functions 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. The common bile duct passes through the pancreas before it empties into the first part of the small intestine (duodenum).

Detailed explanation-3: -The gallbladder usually holds about 30 to 80 milliliters (about 1 to 2.7 fluid ounces) of fluid. When we eat fatty foods, the gallbladder contracts and squeezes bile through the bile duct. The bile is mixed into the semi-digested food in the small intestine.
