Which body part or function is involved in Liver and Gall Bladder Disease?
The liver and gallbladder are the two accessory organs of the digestive tract, which carry out a multifunctional role that supports digestion and maintains body chemical balance.

Many important metabolic nutrients are stored in the liver like Vitamins A, D, and K, iron, and glycogen. They are released into the bloodstream when needed.
Liver
Also improves the action of various endocrine hormones and synthesizes bile, which is stored in the gallbladder. The main gallbladder function is to preserve and acidify bile.
