    The bile duct is some 6–8 cm long, and normally up to 8 mm in diameter. [4]Its proximal supraduodenal part is situated within the free edge of the lesser omentum.Its middle retroduodenal part is oriented inferiorly and right-ward, and is situated posterior to the first part of the duodenum, and anterior to the inferior vena cava.

  3. Bile duct - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bile_duct

    The biliary tree (see below) is the whole network of various sized ducts branching through the liver.. The path is as follows: bile canaliculi → canals of Hering → interlobular bile ducts → intrahepatic bile ducts → left and right hepatic ducts merge to form → common hepatic duct exits liver and joins → cystic duct (from gall bladder) forming → common bile duct → joins with ...

  4. Biliary tract - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biliary_tract

    Bile is secreted by the liver into small ducts that join to form the common hepatic duct. [4] Between meals, secreted bile is stored in the gallbladder. [5] During a meal, the bile is secreted into the duodenum (part of the small intestine) to rid the body of waste stored in the bile as well as aid in the absorption of dietary fats and oils. [5]

  5. Ampulla of Vater - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampulla_of_Vater

    The ampulla of Vater, hepatopancreatic ampulla or hepatopancreatic duct is the common duct that is usually formed by a union of the common bile duct and the pancreatic duct within the wall of the duodenum. This common duct usually features a dilation ("ampulla").

  6. Cystic duct - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cystic_duct

    Bile can flow in either direction between the gallbladder, and the common bile duct and hepatic duct. [3] In this way, bile is stored in the gallbladder in between meal times. The hormone cholecystokinin , when stimulated by a fatty meal, promotes bile secretion by increased production of hepatic bile, contraction of the gall bladder, and ...

  7. Common hepatic duct - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_hepatic_duct

    The common hepatic ducts carries a higher volume of bile in people who have had their gallbladder removed. [citation needed] The common hepatic duct is an important anatomic landmark during surgeries such as cholecystectomy. It forms one edge of Calot's triangle, along with the cystic duct and the cystic artery. All constituents of this ...

    Intralobular bile ducts (cholangioles or Canals of Hering) - simple cuboidal epithelium, then by hepatocytes; Bile canaliculi - two half-canaliculi formed by the hepatocytes facing the perisinusoidal space; Abdominal ultrasonography (with Doppler) of dilated intrahepatic bile ducts, in this case because of pancreatic cancer. The bile ducts are ...
