Accepted Answer

The sphincter of Oddi, ampulla of Vater, and cystic duct are all structures associated with the biliary system, which includes the liver, gallbladder, and bile ducts. These structures help to regulate the flow of bile and pancreatic enzymes into the small intestine. None of these structures drain into the portal vein, nor do they connect the pylorus to the duodenum.
