Which duct carries bile from the liver to the duodenum?

Bile drainage from the liver travels through a sequence of ducts that ultimately deliver bile to the duodenum. Bile exits the liver via the hepatic ducts, which join to form the common hepatic duct. When bile is released from the gallbladder, it moves through the cystic duct and then merges with the common hepatic duct to create the common bile duct. The common bile duct carries bile into the duodenum, usually entering at the major duodenal papilla together with the pancreatic duct.
