Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -The liver produces bile, a solution that helps you digest fats.

Detailed explanation-3: -The liver cells secrete the bile into small canals that lead to the common bile duct. From there, a smaller duct branches off and leads to the gallbladder. The common bile duct ends at the small intestine. The bile produced by the liver flows directly into the small intestine during a meal.

Detailed explanation-4: -Bile is made in the liver and flows through the common hepatic duct and the cystic duct to the gallbladder, where it is stored. When food is being digested, bile is released from the gallbladder and flows through the common bile duct and pancreas into small intestine.
