According to my old A&P book, the Thoracic duct (aka left lymphatic duct) collects most of the lymph in the body and drains into the circalatory system, between the left subclavian and left internal jugular veins via the left brachiocephalic vein. The right arm, right side of the chest, neck and head and lower left lobe of the lung is collected by the right lymphatic duct.
The common bile duct empties its contents into the duodenum, specifically at the major duodenal papilla. This is where bile from the liver and digestive enzymes from the pancreas are released to aid in the digestion and absorption of fats in the small intestine.
Bile empties into the second portion of the duodenum.

What area of the duodenum where the common bile duct and the pancreatic duct empty is called?
The area of the duodenum where the common bile duct and the pancreatic duct empty is called the major duodenal papilla. This is where bile and pancreatic enzymes are released into the duodenum to aid in digestion.
The fusion of the hepatic duct and the cystic duct forms the?
common bile duct
Duct transporting bile from gallbladder to common bile duct?
The duct that transports bile from the gallbladder to the common bile duct is called the cystic duct. It is a small tube that connects the gallbladder to the common bile duct, allowing bile produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder to flow into the small intestine for digestion.
What ducts empty into the duodenal ampulla?
The common bile duct and main pancreatic duct both empty into the duodenal ampulla. These ducts facilitate the transport of bile and pancreatic enzymes into the duodenum to aid in digestion.
The common bile duct is formed by the connection of what two ducts?
The common bile duct is formed by the union of the cystic duct (which carries bile from the gallbladder) and the common hepatic duct (which carries bile from the liver).
What area of the duodenum where the common bile duct and the pancreatic duct empty is called?
The area of the duodenum where the common bile duct and the pancreatic duct empty is called the major duodenal papilla. This is where bile and pancreatic enzymes are released into the duodenum to aid in digestion.
Does the common bile duct empty into the small intestine?
YES
What duct is formed by the merger of the cystic duct and the common hepatic duct?
common bile ductThe common bile duct.
Carries bile into the duodenum?
Bile is made in the liver and passes through bile ducts and into the common hepatic duct which carries it out of the liver. From here, it can pass down the common bile duct into the duodenum or take a detour into the gallbladder via the cystic duct.
The fusion of the hepatic duct and the cystic duct forms the?
common bile duct
Duct transporting bile from gallbladder to common bile duct?
The duct that transports bile from the gallbladder to the common bile duct is called the cystic duct. It is a small tube that connects the gallbladder to the common bile duct, allowing bile produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder to flow into the small intestine for digestion.
What ducts empty into the duodenal ampulla?
The common bile duct and main pancreatic duct both empty into the duodenal ampulla. These ducts facilitate the transport of bile and pancreatic enzymes into the duodenum to aid in digestion.
The common bile duct is formed by the connection of what two ducts?
The common bile duct is formed by the union of the cystic duct (which carries bile from the gallbladder) and the common hepatic duct (which carries bile from the liver).
What happened to the duct from the gallbladder on a pig?
In pigs, the duct from the gallbladder is called the cystic duct, which merges with the common hepatic duct to form the common bile duct. This common bile duct then carries bile from the liver and gallbladder to the duodenum for digestion.
What duct delivers bile to the duodenum?
the common bile duct
What is the duct that leaves the gallbladder?
The duct that leaves the gallbladder is called the cystic duct. It joins with the common hepatic duct to form the common bile duct, which carries bile from the gallbladder to the small intestine to aid in digestion.
What is the function of cystic ducts?
The cystic duct lies between the gallbladder and the common bile duct. Its' function is to transport bile from the gall bladder to the common bile duct.
