Branches of the bile ducts also enter these lobules and receive the bile which the hepatic cells secrete from the blood. Each hepatic cell, therefore, is a trije gland cell, and the combined secre- tion of all these cells is collected in the branched ducts and flows downward until it enters the common hepatic duct. From this point it may take one of two courses. .-s^;;^'^'**^-. Fig. 45 —The pancreas ; 1, central duct; 2, pancreatic duct; 3, stomach. It either enters the common bile duct and flows directly into the intestine or it backs up and accumulates in the gall bladder. In this way bile is stored in this bladder so that when necessary it may be called on to supply the intestine with increased amounts of bile. In such case, bile flows from the lobes of the liver and from the gall bladder directly into the intestine. The bile is a thick golden-brown liquid of bitter taste. About a quart is produced daily, and performs very important functions in digestion. The pancreas.— (See Fig. 45 and Ex. XXXII.) This.
