胆管

1. Origins, structure, and basic meaning

• Structure: 胆管, read たんかん, combines the biliary element 胆 with duct or tube 管 as an anatomical structure name.
• Basic usage: It is the anatomical term for the duct through which bile flows, as in 胆管の位置.

2. Common pitfalls and similar expressions

• Scope and context
  • It does not mean the gallbladder 胆嚢 or bile 胆汁, so distinguish the duct from the organ and substance.
