Gallbladder and Biliary System: Anatomy and Physiology Terms Matching Exercise

ampulla of Vater = Small opening in the duodenum in which the pancreatic and common bile duct enter to release secretions bilirubin = Refers to common bile and hepatic ducts when cystic duct is not seen cholecystectomy = Surgery to remove the gallbladder common bile duct = Extends from the point where the common hepatic duct meets the cystic duct; drains into the duodenum after it joins with the main pancreatic duct

common hepatic duct = Connects the gallbladder to the common hepatic duct cystic duct = Connects the gallbladder to the common hepatic duct gallbladder = Storage pouch for bile Hartmann’s pouch = Small part of the gallbladder that lies near the cystic duct where stones may collect

Heister’s valve = Tiny valves found within the cystic duct hydrops = Massive enlargement of the gallbladder pancreatic duct = Travels horizontally through the pancreas to join the common bile duct at the ampulla of Vater phrygian cap = Central area of the liver where the portal vein, common duct, and hepatic artery enter
