Anthias fish and cleaner shrimp

Anthias fish and cleaner shrimp. This is a white- banded cleaner shrimp (Lysmata amboinensis). It is using its long feelers and appendages to clean algae and other parasitic organisms from the skin and mouth of the fish. This symbiotic relationship benefits both the fish and the shrimp. The fish is cleaned of parasites, and the shrimp obtains food. A shrimp is a crustacean, an invertebrate animal that an external shell. An anthias is a small reef fish found in tropical waters. This shrimp is about 3 centimetres long. Photographed off Mabul, Malaysia

Artwork of the liver, gall bladder and pancreas

Liver and pancreas. Artwork of the liver, gall bladder, bile duct, duodenum and pancreas. The liver (pink) consists of numerous lobules. A magnified liver lobule is shown within the circle surrounded by branches of the hepatic artery (red) and the hepatic vein (blue). The sac below the lobule is the gall bladder (green). Bile produced by the liver is stored in the gall bladder. The bile passes from the gall bladder down the bile duct (thin, yellow tube) to the duodenum (green, lower frame) where it emulsifies fats in food. The pancreas (brown, elongated) is a gland that produces hormones and digestive enzymes
