- Groove with Ligamentum Teres
- Groove with Ligamentum Venosum

2. Duodenum
What problems does Cholelithiasis cause for the intestines?
The Gall bladder can stick to Trans. Colon or Duodenum, emptying contents into it. Gall stones will get stuck if they empty into Duodenum but will pass if they empty into Trans. Colon.

What Passes through the Uncinate process of the Pancreas, from Right to Left?
- Superior Mesenteric Vein

Path of Bile
- Common Hepatic Ducts
- Cystic Duct
- Gall Bladder (Concentrate)
- Cystic Duct
- Bile Duct
- Hepatopancreatic Ampulla
- Greater Duo Papilla
- Descending Duodenum

It carries pancreatic enzymes (exocrine) and joins the bile duct at the Hepatopancreatic ampulla

Because it contacts the spleen, which is intraperitoneal
