Gallstones, artwork C016 / 2869
Gallstones. Artwork of the gallbladder (yellow), ducts, and surrounding organs in a case of gallstones. The gallbladder stores bile, the digestive fluid that is produced by the liver (above gallbladder) and passed to the small intestine (bottom). Also shown here is the pancreas (right of gallbladder). Gallstones, hard deposits formed of cholesterol and bile salts, form in the gallbladder when there is an imbalance in the composition of the bile. Gallstones are usually symptomless, unless one obstructs the bile duct, causing acute pain, jaundice and infection. Treatment is with drugs or surgical removal of the gallbladder

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a case of gallstones, artwork C016 / 2869. The image depicts the gallbladder, ducts, and surrounding organs in stunning clarity against a striking blue background. The gallbladder, painted in vibrant yellow hues, is responsible for storing bile - the digestive fluid produced by the liver located above it. From there, bile is passed to the small intestine situated at the bottom. The pancreas can be seen on the right side of the gallbladder, adding another layer of complexity to this visually arresting composition. Gallstones are hard deposits formed from cholesterol and bile salts that develop within the gallbladder due to an imbalance in bile composition. Typically symptomless, these stones only cause trouble when they obstruct one's bile ducts leading to excruciating pain, jaundice or infection. Treatment options include medication or surgical removal of the entire gallbladder. This monochrome artwork provides valuable insight into cholelithiasis - a disorder affecting digestion and abdominal health. It serves as a powerful educational tool for medical professionals and students alike who seek to understand various conditions related to gastrointestinal tract disorders. Captured with precision by Springer Medizin/Science Photo Library experts using their expertise in medical photography; this print beautifully combines artistry with scientific accuracy while shedding light on an important aspect of human anatomy and pathology.
