It usually lies next to the cystic artery . It is of variable length. It contains Spiral valves of Heister spiral valves of Heister, which do not provide much resistance to the flow of bile. Function Bile can flow in both directions between the gallbladder and the common hepatic duct and the common bile duct. In this way, bile is stored in the gallbladder in between meal times. The hormone cholecystokinin , when stimulated by a fatty meal, promotes bile secretion by increased production of hepatic bile, contraction of the gall bladder, and relaxation of the Sphincter of Oddi . Clinical significance Gallstone s can enter and obstruct the cysticduct, preventing the flow of bile. The increased pressure in the gallbladder leads to swelling and pain. This pain is sometimes referred to as a gallbladder attack because of its sudden onset. During a cholecystectomy , the cysticduct is clipped two or three times and a cut is made between the clips, freeing the gallbladder to be taken out.

In this configuration, the intake is in the upper rear center of the aircraft, just below the Vertical stabilizer stabilizer , while the exhaust and engine is at the rear of the aircraft. The S duct is located in the tail, or empennage , of the aircraft. The shape of the S duct is distinctive and easily recognized, and was used in several aircraft, beginning in 1962 with the Hawker Siddeley Trident . Currently, the Dassault Falcon 7X and Dassault Falcon 900 business jets, and the Tupolev Tu 154M narrow body airliner in limited production, are the only aircraft in production that use the S duct design.

This works as a type of shunt to eliminate excess perilymph fluid from the perlymphatic space around the cochlea of the ear . Perilymph is continuous with cerebrospinal fluid CSF in the subarachnoid space. CSF pressure abnormalities do not generally have clinical impact on the inner ear which is explained physically by the bore diameter of the perilymphatic duct and its length.
