The kidneys are the master chemists of the body. Normally, there are two of them, one on either side of the spine under the lower ribs. They are reddish brown in colour and shaped like kidney beans. Each kidney is about the size of your clenched fist. by Rachel Broune

Gallstones are small, pebble-like substances that develop in the gallbladder. The gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped sac located below your liver in the right upper abdomen. Gallstones form when liquid stored in the gallbladder hardens into pieces of stone-like material. The liquid—called bile—helps the body digest fats. Bile is made in the liver, then stored in the gallbladder until the body needs it. The gallbladder contracts and pushes the bile into a tube—called the common bile duct—that carries it to the small intestine, where it helps with digestion. by peter hutch

A person who looks yellowish is described as being jaundiced. Jaundice however, is not a disease itself, but a disorder of the liver.
Red blood cells are constantly being broken down by the spleen. Bilirubin is one of the breakdown products of haemoglobin and is carried to the liver to be excreted in the bile. It is the raised level of bilirubin in the blood that gives the yellow colour seen in jaundice. |
