In traditional Chinese culture, relationship between gallbladder and liver is understood as "Gan Dan Xiang Zhao" which means sincere treatment with each other.
How do you understand in physiology, anatomy and molecular mechanism?
There is a good relationship of "excellent neighbours", but sometimes can occurs problems
I am currently doing research on oncogenesis of gallbladder cancer. So I am thinking the role of liver in the oncogensis of gallbladder, and how we understand the role of bile acid involved in it?
Bile is secreted in the liver and gall bladder serve as storage as well as concentration site.
When food enters the small intestine, a series of hormonal and nerve signals triggers the gallbladder to contract and the sphincter of Oddi to relax and open. Bile then flows from the gallbladder into the small intestine to mix with food contents and perform its digestive functions.
Yeah, you are right. I am considering whether there are molecular pathways in the interaction between liver and gallbladder through bile acid or other moleculars.
