THORAX ABDOMEN AND PELVIS

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The small tubes that carry bile between the liver, gallbladder and small intestine are called biliary or bile ducts. The pancreatic duct connects the pancreas to the common bile duct. Blockages in these ducts can be painful and cause fluids to build up in your organs and cause further problems.

Detailed explanation-3: -The lower end of the bile duct sweeps around behind the duodenum and through the head of the pancreas before joining the pancreatic duct at the main papilla (of Vater).

Detailed explanation-4: -Your common hepatic duct connects to your gallbladder through the cystic duct, forming the common bile duct. About half of the bile from your liver flows directly into the common bile duct, the main trunk of the biliary tree. The other half goes to your gallbladder.
