Abstract

Knowledge of biliary tract physiology is as yet incomplete. No true picture of events taking place during digestion and periods of rest, in health or in disease, is available. Continual biliary tract function studies are not feasible, bile obtained at operation or from drainage tube provides information only about a particular situation, which in addition is non-physiological. Animal experiments are of limited value as their biliary function differs, but mainly because human biliary pathology has no equivalent in animals.
