A good quality GMRS radio, or a commercial radio programmed to use GMRS frequencies, can probably get a range of about five miles or so. A good base or repeater, with a good antenna mounted high off the ground should be able to get a range of 15 to 25 miles.
âCommon bile duct is dilatedâ. Common Bile duct is part of the âplumbingâ that drains the secretion of the liver (bile) into small bowel (duodenum). The size of the common bile duct, if dilated, may suggest a blockage downstream. This is a specific finding that is looked for when a patient gets an ultrasound for a suspected liver or Gallbladder disease. When a patient has their gallbladder removed, the common bile duct dilates over some time.
The bile then goes into the gallbladder where it is stored and concentrated for later use. When you eat a fatty meal, a hormone called cholecystokinin (CCK) is secreted. It causes the gallbladder to contract and also causes relaxation of a small valve (the sphincter of Oddi) at the end of the common bile duct. This allows bile to flow into the duodenum and mix with food for digestion. After the CCK effect wears off, the valve closes, the gallbladder relaxes, and the cycle is repeated.
