The patient can be subjected to intraoperative cholangiography wherein a stent in the bile duct will be placed and a radiopaque dye will be injected. X-rays will be taken. This is to locate the level of obstruction and to confirm if there is a common bile duct obstruction. In extracting stones, the surgeon can prefer doing an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography or ERCP and perform basket extraction of the common bile duct stone; or to surgically remove the sphincter of Oddi to allow easy passage of the stones.

-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

Channel proteins form hydrophilic channels to passively transport substances down the concentration gradient.

Carrier proteins bind to substances to transport them actively against the concentration gradient. They do not form channels.

Carrier proteins are the membrane proteins that transport the substances across the membrane by binding to them. They do not form the hydrophilic channels. Carrier proteins serve in the active transport of molecules against the concentration gradient.
