Liver, gallbladder and pancreas
By SickKids staff
Learn how the liver, gall bladder and pancreas help the body digest food.
Key points
The liver digests food by producing bile to break down fats, removing toxins and breaking down and storing some vitamins and minerals.
The pancreas produces enzymes to help break down proteins, fats and carbohydrates.
The gall bladder stores the bile that is produced by the liver. When needed, bile passes into the small intestine, where it breaks down fat.
The liver, pancreas and gall bladder are called accessory organs. This means they work with the GI tract to break down food.
