Explanation:

Common hepatic duct is s the part of the biliary tract which means that is involved in the secretion of bile.

Amphipatic nature means that they have hydrophobic side which binds directly to lipids and hydrophilic side which are faced outwards. Lipids enveloped with bile salts are called micelles.

Formation of micelles increases the surface area of fat, which is appropriate for the the action of the enzyme pancreatic lipase (perform digestion of triglycerides).
