How do liver , gall bladder and pancreas work together
Liver produces bile from bilirubin
Hameoglobin + rbc break down and form unconjugated bilirubin which circulates in blood stream until it reaches the liver
In the liver becomes CONJUGATED bilirubin + used to produce bile
Bile excreted by hepatic ducts + becomes concentrated in gall bladder
Passes down common bile duct + joined by pancreatic enzymes and secreted into first part of duodenum
