A member asked:
Please tell me, are bile ducts considered a part of the liver?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: There are numerous bile ducts throughout the liver. There are also bile ducts outside of the liver. The liver produces the bile. The bile ducts drain the bile to the gallbladder and the intestine.
