30
Q

CHD courses ___ to the GB neck

A

inferiorly

31
Q

A

Common hepatic duct (CHD)

32
Q

Arterial supply of the gallbladder is from

A

cystic artery

-part of right hepatic artery

33
Q

The ___ vein drains directly into the portal vein.

A

cystic

34
Q

primary functions of the extrahepatic biliary tract

A
  1. the transportation of bile from the liver to the intestine
  2. regulation of bile flow.
35
Q

Concentration of bile in the gallbladder occurs during ___

A

fasting

36
Q

what causes the concentration of bile in the gallbladder

A

pressure within CBD via sphincter of oddi

37
Q

what causes outpour of bile into duodenum

A

gallbladder contraction due to influence of food

38
Q

what happens when gallbladder is removed

A
