<P> When the sphincter of Oddi is closed , newly synthesized bile from the liver is forced into storage in the gall bladder . When open , the stored and concentrated bile exits into the duodenum . This conduction of bile is the main function of the common bile duct . The hormone cholecystokinin , when stimulated by a fatty meal , promotes bile secretion by increased production of hepatic bile , contraction of the gall bladder , and relaxation of the Sphincter of Oddi . </P>
