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

Bile Duct Digestive System Duodenum Gall Bladder Liver Organs Pancreas

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the intricate details of the liver, gall bladder, and pancreas, three vital organs within the human body's digestive system. The liver, depicted in a delicate shade of pink, is composed of numerous lobules that play a crucial role in various metabolic processes. Within the circle lies a magnified view of a liver lobule surrounded by branches of the hepatic artery in striking red and the hepatic vein in serene blue. Beneath this remarkable structure rests the gall bladder represented in vibrant green. Acting as a storage unit for bile produced by the liver, it plays an essential role in aiding digestion. The thin yellow tube known as the bile duct elegantly connects these two components together while facilitating efficient transportation of bile to its ultimate destination -the duodenum. The lower frame introduces us to another key player: the duodenum portrayed with refreshing shades of green. This segment serves as an important site where bile emulsifies fats present in our food, enhancing digestion and nutrient absorption. Lastly, we encounter an elongated brown organ -the pancreas- which not only produces hormones but also secretes digestive enzymes necessary for proper digestion. Through this stunning piece of artistry from Science Photo Library, viewers are granted access to explore and appreciate these intricate structures responsible for maintaining our body's well-being and ensuring optimal functioning within our digestive system.
