CHOLEDUCHUS, in Anatomy, a term applied to a canal, or duct, called also ductus communis; formed of the union of the porus biliaris and ductus cysticus. The word comes from χολη chole; and δύχτης, I receive, or contain.
The choledochus ductus passing obliquely to the lower end of the duodenum, serves to convey the bile from the liver to the intestines. See ANATOMY INDEX.
