biliary ductule in dogs

One of the fine terminal elements of the bile duct system, leaving the portal canal, and pursuing a course at the periphery of a lobule of the liver[BTO]. the excretory ducts of the liver that connect the interlobular ductules to the right or left hepatic duct[MP]. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the biliary ductule is

One of the fine terminal elements of the bile duct system, leaving the portal canal, and pursuing a course at the periphery of a lobule of the liver[BTO]. the excretory ducts of the liver that connect the interlobular ductules to the right or left hepatic duct[MP]. The atlas records it as a organ at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the biliary ductule is

It sits in the abdomen and trunk, within the digestive and endocrine systems. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What the biliary ductule connects to

The atlas records 5 typed relationships for it, across 4 kinds of connection. part of bile duct and liver.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the biliary ductule. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Also called

Also recorded as bile ductule, biliary ductule, ductuli biliferi, bile capillary, cholangiole and terminal cholangiole. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the biliary ductule?

It sits in the abdomen and trunk, within the digestive and endocrine systems. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What does the biliary ductule connect to?

Part of: bile duct and liver.

Is the biliary ductule the same in other species?

This page describes the dog. The human record of the same structure sits beside it on /compare, over one shared model rather than two atlases built separately.
