Bile: Formation, Functions, and Health Implications

Bile is a physiological fluid that is dark green to yellowish-brown in color and produced by the liver.

In humans, bile is produced continuously by the liver and drained by bile canaliculi to the right and left hepatic ducts. The right and left hepatic ducts join to form the common hepatic duct. The cystic duct from the gall bladder joins the common hepatic duct and forms the common bile duct.

  Liver Donation                                                   

Liver donation is a pious act of charity. If you donate your liver to someone, you are prolonging his life. You are bestowing life on him.

It is unlike kidney donation, where one whole kidney is removed and donated. In liver donation, only some part of your liver is removed.
