THORAX ABDOMEN AND PELVIS

Detailed explanation-1: -Extrahepatic bile ducts are small tubes that carry bile from the liver and gallbladder to the small intestine.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -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 first section of the small intestine (the duodenum). But not all bile runs directly into the duodenum.

Detailed explanation-4: -About half the bile secreted between meals flows directly through the common bile duct into the small intestine. The rest of the bile is diverted through the cystic duct into the gallbladder to be stored.
