Bile ducts are small tubes that drain a liquid called bile from our liver and gall bladder into our small intestine (small bowel).
Bile helps to digest fatty food in our small bowel. It also helps us to get rid of bilirubin, a waste product from the breakdown of old red blood cells.
Macmillan Cancer Support is a national charity and we rely on voluntary donations. To donate, please call Supporter Services on 020 7840 4900. Thank you.
