way
Bile flows --> gallbladder ---> cystic duct ---> common bile duct--> duodenum

6. What regulates The cystic duct has spiral valves of Heister which keep the duct open and regulate
the bile flow? bile movement in both directions

7. Pancreas Exocrine - Acinar cells: produce digestive enzymes
component - Ductal cells: secrete bicarbonate
- Function: digest fats, proteins, carbohydrates
