False statement about common bile duct:

A
Lies in free margin of lesser omentum
B
Anterior to first pa of duodenum
C
Right to hepatic aery
D
Anterior to poal vein
High-Yield Explanation
B i.e. Anterior to first pa of duodenum- The bile duct ends by piercing the medial wall of 2nd pa of duodenumQ, 8-10 cm distal to pylorusQ usually after uniting with pancreatic duct to form hepaticopancreatic ampulla or ampulla of vater. Occasionally the pancreatic duct & bile duct open separately into the duodenum.Bile duct (upper third or supraduodenal pa) passes downwards in the free margin of lesser omentum (hepatoduodenal ligament), behind the liver, anterior to the poal vein and to the right of hepatic aeryQ. Middle third (retro duodenal) pa and lower third (infraduodenal - pancreatic) poion curves behind the first (1st) pa of duodenum and head of pancreas respectively; whereas both pas run in front of (anterior to) IVC.- In nut shell, common bile duct lies posterior to liver, duodenum (1st pa) & pancreas head (all organs); anterior to poal vein & IVC (both veins); and to the right of hepatic aery & gastro duodenal aery (both aeries).
