[27] Another Bobbio scene shows a Virgin Orant flanked by John the Baptist and his ...
Vater is primarily known for his work in anatomy, but he also published works in the fields of chemistry, botany, pharmacology and gynaecology. He was the first to describe the hepatopancreatic ampulla, which is the juncture of the pancreatic duct and the common bile duct, and is now referred to as the ampulla of Vater.
An ampulla (/ æ m ˈ p ʊ l ə,-ˈ p ʌ l-/; [1] pl.: ampullae) was, in Ancient Rome, a small round vessel, usually made of glass and with two handles, used for sacred purposes.

The path is as follows: bile canaliculi → canals of Hering → interlobular bile ducts → intrahepatic bile ducts → left and right hepatic ducts merge to form → common hepatic duct exits liver and joins → cystic duct (from gall bladder) forming → common bile duct → joins with pancreatic duct → forming ampulla of Vater → enters ...
Another well-known ampoule is the Holy Ampulla (Sainte Ampoule) which held the anointing oil for the coronation of the French monarchs. The oil was allegedly passed down from the time of Clovis I ; it was kept for a time in the tomb of Saint Remigius and later in the Cathedral of Notre-Dame, Reims .
The sphincter of Oddi (also hepatopancreatic sphincter or Glisson's sphincter), abbreviated as SO, [1] is a muscular valve that in some animals, including humans, controls the flow of bile and pancreatic juice out of the gallbladder and pancreas respectively through the ampulla of Vater into the second part of the duodenum.
