What structure collects and drains bile?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The billiary-tree: The liver manufactures/breaks down heme/red cells forming billlirubin/bile which is then transported via the "billiary tree" as pictured here and then stored in the gallbladder. It is a rather complex but fascinating process (i like to think the liver is the most important organ in our body). Have fun learning. If you have gallbladder trouble, consult doc. Good luck.
