Place the steps of the biliary system in the correct order: 1. Bile produced in the liver enters the hepatic triads. 2. Bile moves into the common hepatic duct. 3. The cystic duct delivers bile from the gallbladder to meet bile from the hepatic duct. 4. Bile flows into the common bile duct. 5. Bile moves into the left and right hepatic ducts. 6. Bile flows out of the hepatopancreatic ampulla into the small intestine.

The gallbladder produces bile. It is attached to the pancreas and stores bile. It produces secretin and breaks down red blood cells. Which of the following is a function of the hepatocytes? - Produce digestive enzymes - Synthesize hormones - Produce hydrochloric acid - Synthesize bile The kidney functions in preventing blood loss, white blood cell production, and synthesis of hormones. Urine comes from the kidneys, the urinary bladder, the ureter, the calyces, and the renal columns. The kidney is protected from mechanical shock by the hilum, the renal capsule, and the renal cortex. The structural functional units of the kidney are called nephrons, renal papillae, pyramids, renal columns, and renal tubes.
