The biliary system is a network of organs and ducts that help in the digestion of fats. It includes the liver, which produces bile, the gallbladder, which stores bile, and the bile ducts, which transport bile to the small intestine. Bile is essential for breaking down fats and absorbing fat-soluble vitamins. When food enters the small intestine, the gallbladder releases bile into the digestive tract. This process aids in emulsifying fats, making them easier to digest. Proper functioning of the biliary system is crucial for overall digestive health and nutrient absorption.
