Bile, which is synthesized in the liver, is carried to the right and left hepatic ducts, which converge to form the common hepatic duct. Latin ( lingua Latīna, laˈtiːna is an Italic language, historically spoken in Latium and Ancient Rome. Gray's Anatomy the Respiratory apparatus ( Apparatus Respiratorius Respiratory system Respiratory apparatus Elsevier, the world's largest Publisher of Medical and Scientific literature, forms part of the Reed Elsevier group Bile or gall is a bitter yellow or green Alkaline fluid secreted by Hepatocytes from the Liver of most Vertebrates In many species The common hepatic duct is the duct formed by the convergence of the Right hepatic duct (which drains bile from the Right functional lobe of the liver) and the There it enters the superior end of the common bile duct and either empties into the second (and retroperitoneal) part of the duodenum, or enters the cystic duct to be stored in the gallbladder. The retroperitoneum (adj retroperitoneal) is the anatomical space in the Abdominal cavity behind ( retro) the Peritoneum.
The inferior end of the common bile duct merges with the large pancreatic duct (duct of Wirsung) from the pancreas, into the ampulla of Vater. The pancreatic duct, or duct of Wirsung, is a duct joining the Pancreas to the Common bile duct to supply pancreatic juices which aid in Digestion The pancreas is a Gland organ in the digestive and Endocrine system of Vertebrates. The ampulla of Vater (papilla Vateri papilla duodeni major also known as the la hepatopancreatic ampulla, is formed by the union of the Pancreatic duct and There, the two ducts are surrounded by the muscular hepatopancreatic sphincter (sphincter of Oddi) which if contracted, prevents bile from entering the small intestine. The Sphincter of Oddi, also called the hepatopancreatic sphincter or Glisson's sphincter, controls secretions from the Liver, Pancreas, and Bile or gall is a bitter yellow or green Alkaline fluid secreted by Hepatocytes from the Liver of most Vertebrates In many species
