Study Notes

Function and Components of Bile

Primary function of bile: aids in the digestion and absorption of fats by emulsifying them, facilitating the action of digestive enzymes.
Composition of bile includes bile salts, cholesterol, bilirubin, electrolytes, and water; bile salts are critical for fat digestion.

Anatomical Pathways

Common bile duct runs from the liver and gallbladder to the duodenum; it merges with the pancreatic duct before entering the intestines.
Biliary system involves the liver, gallbladder, common bile duct, cystic duct, and the pancreatic duct.

Variations and Implications

Uncommon variations in the bile duct system may affect bile flow and can lead to complications such as obstruction, infection, or bile leakage.
