Liver

Liver is one of the most important organs in the body with multiple functions such as helping in metabolism, digestion of food, cleaning waste products and blood clot formation.

Gallbladder and bile duct

Gallbladder is a store house of bile which is produced by liver and helps in digestion. Bile is released from gall bladder and enters intestine through bile duct.

Pancreas

Pancreas not only helps in digestion of food by producing several enzymes but a key organ to control blood glucose metabolism with insulin secretion.
