Liver, gallbladder and pancreas, artwork
Liver, gallbladder and pancreas, computer artwork. The largest organ seen here is the liver. Below the liver are the pancreas (pink, left to right) and the gallbladder (brown, left). Part of the duodenum (pink), the first section of the small intestine, is seen down left. The liver plays a vital role in metabolism, storing nutrients in forms such as glycogen, and helping to clean the blood of toxins and other waste products. It also produces bile, a liquid that is used to digest fats. The gallbladder stores and concentrates the bile, releasing it into the small intestines when needed. The pancreas secretes digestive enzymes as well as hormones, including insulin

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork print showcases the intricate details of the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. The largest organ depicted here is the liver, which plays a crucial role in our body's metabolism. It acts as a storage unit for essential nutrients like glycogen and aids in purifying the blood by eliminating toxins and waste products. Additionally, it produces bile, a vital liquid that facilitates fat digestion. Beneath the liver lies the pink-colored pancreas and brown-hued gallbladder. The pancreas not only secretes digestive enzymes but also releases hormones such as insulin into our bloodstream. On the other hand, the gallbladder stores and concentrates bile before releasing it into our small intestines when required. The image also provides a glimpse of part of the duodenum – an important section of our small intestine responsible for further digesting food particles. This stunning artwork beautifully captures these organs' anatomical structures within our body's digestive system. Its vibrant colors highlight their significance in maintaining overall health and well-being. Displayed against an oblique backdrop with skeletal illustrations, this print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both biological complexity and aesthetic appeal simultaneously. Whether you're interested in anatomy or simply fascinated by science's wonders, this print from Science Photo Library will undoubtedly captivate your imagination without mentioning any commercial use intentions associated with it
