The biliary plumbing system, which consists of the gallbladder, intrahepatic bile ducts, cystic duct—gallbladder to common bile duct—and common bile duct—liver and gallbladder to small intestine. Biliary tract obstruction usually leads to obstructive jaundice.

BILIARY TRACT (IN RELATION TO LIVER, PANCREAS, AND DUODENUM)

biliary tract

The organs and ducts through which bile travels on its way to the duodenum. These are the bile canaliculi, right and left hepatic ducts, common hepatic duct, gallbladder, cystic duct, bile duct, and hepatopancreatic ampulla. See: illustration; bile ducts; gallbladder; liverSee also: tract
