The pancreas is an endocrine and exocrine gland. Its exocrine portion consists of acinar cells that secrete pancreatic juice, which consists of water, bicarbonate ions, and multiple digestive enzymes.
Anatomy: The liver is in the right upper quadrant and consists of four lobes.
Functions:
The liver’s main digestive function is: the production of bile
bile contains: bile salts, water, and metabolic wastes such as bilirubin
Other functions of the liver include: nutrient metabolism, detoxification, excretion, production of plasma proteins, and storage of nutrients.
The gallbladder receives bile from the common hepatic duct and stores it for later release.
The main trigger for bile release from the gallbladder and liver is
cholecystokinin.
