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 formed by filtration in response to osmotic gradients created by the transport of osmotically active solutes into the bile canalicular lumen. Water and small solutes enter the biliary space passively via solvent drag (514).

Detailed explanation-3: -Your liver continually produces bile. This is a chemical that helps turn fats into energy that your body uses. Bile is necessary for the digestive process.

Detailed explanation-4: -The liver produces bile, a solution that helps you digest fats. Gallbladder. The gallbladder stores bile. As fatty food enters the upper portion of your small intestine (the duodenum), the gallbladder squeezes bile into the small intestine through the bile ducts.
