Detailed explanation-1: -Bile is a fluid that is made and released by the liver and stored in the gallbladder. Bile helps with digestion. It breaks down fats into fatty acids, which can be taken into the body by the digestive tract.
Detailed explanation-2: -Bile is a sticky, yellow-green digestive fluid made by the liver. Its main job is to break down fats into fatty acids so that they can be absorbed by your body through the digestive tract. Bile is stored in the gallbladder and is sometimes also called gall.
Detailed explanation-3: -false. Even though bile has an important role in the digestion of fat, it does not contain any fat-digesting enzymes. Bile functions to break apart large lipid droplets in a process called emulsification.
Detailed explanation-4: -Bile is produced by hepatocytes and it is then modified by the cholangiocytes lining the bile ducts. The production and secretion of bile require active transport systems within hepatocytes and cholangiocytes in addition to a structurally and functionally intact biliary tree.
