Common bile duct
The
common bile duct
, sometimes abbreviated
CBD
, is a tube-like anatomic structure in the
gastrointestinal tract
of organisms that have a gall bladder. It is formed by the union of the
common hepatic duct
and the
cystic duct
(from the
gall bladder
). It is later joined by the
pancreatic duct
to form the
ampulla of Vater
. There, the two ducts are surrounded by the muscular
sphincter of Oddi
.
