Bile: Is a digestive fluid produced by your

Bile is a digestive fluid produced by your liver and stored by your gallbladder. Learn about its role in fat digestion, common problems and how to keep it healthy. What is Bile ? Bile , also known as gall, is an aqueous solution that is yellowish-green-brown in colour. It is formed in the liver of the majority of vertebrates and is a vital component for the survival of organisms. It is secreted by the hepatocytes continuously and eventually stored in the gallbladder. It is then transported to the intestinal lumen whenever required. Bile plays an important role in the digestion of lipids in the small intestine. Bile is a physiological aqueous solution produced and secreted by the liver. It consists mainly of bile salts, phospholipids, cholesterol, conjugated bilirubin, electrolytes, and water. [1] Bile travels through the liver in a series of ducts, eventually exiting through the common hepatic duct. bile ducts the canals or passageways that conduct bile . There are three bile ducts: the hepatic duct drains bile from the liver; the cystic duct is an extension of the gallbladder and conveys bile from the gallbladder. These two ducts may be thought of as branches that drain into the “trunk,” or common bile duct. The common bile duct passes through the wall of the small intestine at the duodenum and joins with the pancreatic duct to form the hepatopancreatic ampulla, or ampulla of Vater ...
