The term "hepatobiliary" refers to the liver (hepato-) and the biliary system, which includes the bile ducts, gallbladder, and associated structures involved in the production, storage, and transport of bile. This system plays a crucial role in digestion, particularly in the emulsification of fats. Hepatobiliary health is essential for proper metabolic functions, and conditions affecting this system can lead to significant health issues, including liver disease and gallstones.
