Hepatobiliary system
The hepatobiliary system includes the liver, gallbladder, and bile ducts. The liver processes nutrients, detoxifies substances, and produces bile, a fluid that helps digest fats. Bile is stored in the gallbladder and released into the small intestine when needed. The system plays a vital role in digestion and waste removal, ensuring your body efficiently handles fats, wastes, and toxins. Proper functioning of this system is essential for overall health, and issues like gallstones or liver disease can interfere with digestion and metabolism.
