Any of several long tube-like structures that transport bile. Bile, which is necessary for digestion, is secreted by the liver into passages that lead to the hepatic duct, which joins with the cystic duct (carrying bile to and from the gallbladder) to form the common bile duct, which opens into the intestine.
