EXTRAHEPATIC BILE DUCTS Meaning and Definition

  1. Extrahepatic bile ducts refer to a group of ducts that are responsible for transporting bile from the liver to the intestine. Bile is a digestive fluid produced by the liver, and it plays a vital role in the breakdown and absorption of fats during digestion. The extrahepatic bile ducts include various ducts that connect the liver to the gallbladder and the small intestine, eventually allowing the bile to reach the intestines where it aids in digestion.

    The extrahepatic bile ducts consist of four main structures: the common hepatic duct, the cystic duct, the common bile duct, and the pancreatic duct. The common hepatic duct is responsible for carrying bile from the liver, while the cystic duct connects the gallbladder to the common hepatic duct. The common bile duct is formed by the union of the common hepatic duct and the cystic duct, and it carries bile to the small intestine. The pancreatic duct, also known as the duct of Wirsung, connects the pancreas to the common bile duct, allowing the secretion of pancreatic enzymes and bicarbonate into the small intestine.

    Any obstruction or blockage in the extrahepatic bile ducts can lead to a condition called extrahepatic bile duct obstruction, which can cause various symptoms such as jaundice, abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Treating such obstruction may require medical intervention, including procedures such as surgical removal of the blockage or the placement of stents to keep the ducts open.
