Biliary tree

The biliary tree is a network of channels inside your body that transports bile, a digestive fluid produced by the liver. Bile helps break down fats in your food. It flows from the liver through small ducts, joins larger ones, and eventually reaches the gallbladder for storage or exits through the common bile duct into the small intestine. This system plays a crucial role in digestion and waste removal. Any blockage or injury in the biliary tree can cause health issues like jaundice or infections, requiring medical attention.
