Name the duct formed when the cystic duct joins with hepatic duct.
Name the duct formed when the cystic duct joins with hepatic duct. Correct Answer Common bile duct
Explanation
- The liver is the largest gland of the body. It is made up of the left and right lobe. The left lobe is smaller than the right lobe. The right lobe forms 5/6 of the liver & the left lobe forms 1/6 of the liver.
- The right and left hepatic duct develop from the right and left liver lobe. Both these ducts combine to form a Common Hepatic duct.
- The gall bladder is situated below the right lobe of the liver.
- The cystic duct of the gall bladder is connected to the common hepatic duct to form a common bile duct also called ductus choledocus.
Additional Information
- The bile duct and the pancreatic duct open together into the duodenum as the common hepato-pancreatic duct which is guarded by a sphincter called the sphincter of Oddi.
- The Salivary glands secrete saliva which is emptied into the buccal cavity through small openings called salivary ducts.
- Saliva contains enzymes salivary amylase and lysozyme. Salivary amylase performs the digestion of starch, and lysozyme kills the pathogenic bacterias
