The gall bladder forms as an outgrowth of the bile duct, as a secondary hollow at the posterior edge of the original hepatic rudiment. The gallbladder and the cyctic duct joins the common bile duct which enters the [[Duodenum - Anatomy & Physiology|duodenum]] at the major duodenal papillae (with the pancreatic duct) on the dorsal surface of the [[Duodenum - Anatomy & Physiology|duodenum]]
