Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bile produced by the liver enters into the hepatic ducts, which merge to form the common hepatic duct. The common hepatic duct then merges with the cystic duct to form the bile duct. The bile duct empties into the duodenal ampulla and papilla, which opens into the duodenal lumen. Therefore, the correct pathway of bile from the hepatic ducts to the duodenal lumen is hepatic ducts, common hepatic duct, bile duct, duodenal ampulla and papilla, duodenal lumen.
