Contact SupplierA bile duct is any of a number of long tube-like structures that carry bile. Bile, required for the digestion of food, is excreted by the liver into passages that carry bile toward the hepatic duct, which joins with the cystic duct (carrying bile to and from the gallbladder) to form the common bile duct, which opens into the intestine. 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 pancreatic duct
forming ampulla of Vater
enters duodenum
