This water soluble bilirubin is called conjugated bilirubin. The liver cells pass out the conjugated bilirubin into tiny tubes called bile ducts. The biliribun becomes part of bile. There is a network of bile ducts in the liver. They held together to form a larger common bile duct. Bile constantly drips down the tiny bile ducts ,into common bile duct and into the first part of the gut  ( small intestine  ).
