Biliary tract

The biliary tract is a system of channels that carry bile—a digestive fluid produced by the liver—toward the small intestine. Bile helps break down fats during digestion. The main parts include the liver (where bile is made), the gallbladder (which stores and concentrates bile), and the bile ducts (tubes that transport bile). When you eat, the gallbladder releases bile into the small intestine through these ducts to aid digestion. Proper functioning of the biliary tract is essential for digesting fats and absorbing nutrients efficiently.
