the.com/bile duct
The plumbing that dumps liver sludge into your gut so fat doesn't win.
means A narrow tube that carries bile from the liver and gallbladder into the small intestine to help digest fats.
from 'Bile' traces back to Latin 'bilis,' once one of the four classical 'humors' thought to govern mood and health — black bile (melancholy) and yellow bile (choler) among them. 'Duct' comes from Latin 'ducere,' meaning 'to lead,' the same root behind 'conduct' and 'aqueduct.' So the phrase is literally 'the thing that leads bile' — a plain, functional name medicine kept long after the humor theory itself was abandoned.
