A molecule is injected into the right basilic vein. It is visible on x-ray in the bile and is used to visualize the biliary system for diagnostic study. Trace the molecule from injection to its exit from the body.
Right basilic vein - brachia vein - axilary vein - subclavian vein - right brachiocephalic vein - superior venacava - right atrium - right ventricle- pulmonary artery - pulmonary capillaries - pulmonary vein - left atrium - left ventricle- aorta - hepatic artery - hepatocytes - bile canaliculi - left and right hepatic ducts - common hepatic duct (joins cystic duct to form common bile duct) - common bile duct - ampulla of vater- excreted into lumen of 2nd part of duodenum
Once the molecule is excreted into the lume of the duodenum, it passes through the small and large intestine and is finally excreted along with the fecal matter.
