cystic duct in dogs

The tubular structure that conducts gall bladder contents from the gall bladder to the common bile duct. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the cystic duct is

The tubular structure that conducts gall bladder contents from the gall bladder to the common bile duct. The atlas records it as a organ at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the cystic duct is

It sits within the digestive system. Only the system is known. The position shown carries almost no spatial information.

What the cystic duct connects to

The atlas records 5 typed relationships for it, across 4 kinds of connection. part of biliary tree.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the cystic duct. 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 ductus cysticus. Searching any of those names reaches this page.
