Hepato --> liver: detoxifies blood (hence when we drink..ppl might say.."i'm killing my liver") & synthesizes proteins such as albumin, alpha-antitripsin, hormone binding proteins, clotting factors..tons of stuff...
billiary --> gall bladder: stores bile
The liver forms bile (from the breakdown of red blood cells known as bilirubin) and deposits it in the gall bladder. This is released when we eat fatty foods b/c it helps emulsify the fat & fat soluble vitamins (D,A, K, E) and absorb it. Bile is then reabsorbed & recycled from the jejenum.

Please see the web pages for more details on Liver, Bile, Gallbladder, Gallstones, Hepatocellular carcinoma and Liver cirrhosis.
Worldwide, the 5 most common types of cancer that kill men are (in order of frequency): lung, stomach, liver, colorectal and oesophagus
One fifth of all cancers worldwide are caused by a chronic infection, for example human papillomavirus (HPV) causes cervical cancer and hepatitis B virus (HBV) causes liver cancer.
