Cholekinetic
A cholekinetic drug is a pharmaceutical drug which increases the contractile power of the bile duct. See also * Choleretic * Hydrocholeretic Hydrocholeretics are substances that increase the volume of secretion of bile from the liver without increasing the amount of solids secreted. Some substances can result in decreased solid production, possibly due to circulatory effects. Cyclobuty ... Drugs {{gastrointestinal-system-drug-stub ...

Hydrocholeretic
Hydrocholeretics are substances that increase the volume of secretion of bile from the liver without increasing the amount of solids secreted. Some substances can result in decreased solid production, possibly due to circulatory effects. Cyclobutyrol is a compound commonly used as a hydrocholeretic. Its effects in rats include a dose-dependent increase in bile flow, sodium, potassium, chloride and bicarbonate outputs and reduced bile acid concentrations.

Medication
A medication (also called medicament, medicine, pharmaceutical drug, medicinal drug or simply drug) is a drug used to diagnose, cure, treat, or prevent disease. Drug therapy (pharmacotherapy) is an important part of the medical field and relies on the science of pharmacology for continual advancement and on pharmacy for appropriate management. Drugs are classified in multiple ways. One of the key divisions is by level of control, which distinguishes prescription drugs (those that a pharmacist dispenses only on the order of a physician, physician assistant, or qualified nurse) from over-the-counter drugs (those that consumers can order for themselves). Another key distinction is between traditional small molecule drugs, usually derived from chemical synthesis, and biopharmaceuticals, which include recombinant proteins, vaccines, blood products used therapeutically (such as IVIG), gene therapy, monoclonal antibodies and cell therapy (for instance, stem cell therapies) ...

Bile Duct
A bile duct is any of a number of long tube-like structures that carry bile, and is present in most vertebrates. Bile is required for the digestion of food and is secreted by the liver into passages that carry bile toward the hepatic duct. It joins the cystic duct (carrying bile to and from the gallbladder) to form the common bile duct which then opens into the intestine. Structure The top half of the common bile duct is associated with the liver, while the bottom half of the common bile duct is associated with the pancreas, through which it passes on its way to the intestine. It opens into the part of the intestine called the duodenum via the ampulla of Vater. Segments The biliary tree (see below) is the whole network of various sized ducts branching through the liver. The path is as follows: Bile canaliculi → Canals of Hering → interlobular bile ducts → intrahepatic bile ducts → left and right hepatic ducts ''merge to form'' → common hepatic duct ''exits live ...
