The bile duct[1][4] (formerly known as the common bile duct[4]) is a part of the biliary tract.[4] It is formed by the union of the common hepatic duct and cystic duct. It ends by uniting with the pancreatic duct to form the hepatopancreatic ampulla. It possesses its own sphincter to enable regulation of bile flow.
