intrahepatic bile duct in dogs

Passages within the liver for the conveyance of bile. Includes right and left hepatic ducts even though these may join outside the liver to form the common hepatic duct. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the intrahepatic bile duct is

Passages within the liver for the conveyance of bile. Includes right and left hepatic ducts even though these may join outside the liver to form the common hepatic duct. The atlas records it as a organ at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the intrahepatic bile duct 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 intrahepatic bile duct connects to

The atlas records 9 typed relationships for it, across 5 kinds of connection. part of liver and portal triad.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the intrahepatic bile 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 bile duct intrahepatic part and intrahepatic biliary system. Searching any of those names reaches this page.
