Liver has two surfaces: diaphragmatic (anterior/superior top front) and visceral (postinferior) The right and the left lobe is divided by the falciform ligament, fissure, quadrate, and caudate lobes. Gallbladder: a muscular sac that lies on the visceral surface of the right lobe of the liver (posterioinferior. So this is the one at the back on the bottom) Cystic duct of the gallbladder joins the hepatic duct to form the bile duct bile duct empties bile into the duodenum (cystic duct. + hepatic duct = bile duct: the pancreas. First of all, pancreas is a gland. This gland is both endocrine and exocrine, endocrine glands secret hormones and other products directly into the blood. Exocrine glands are the glands that secrete the product onto the epithelial surface such as mucous.
