Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The cells of the liver produce about 800 to 1, 000 milliliters (about 27 to 34 fluid ounces) of bile every day. Bile is a yellow, brownish or olive-green liquid that helps our body digest fats. The liver cells secrete the bile into small canals that lead to the common bile duct.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Bile is a fundamental and unique secretion of the liver. It is a yellow-greenish fluid that is secreted from the hepatocytes and altered as it passes through the biliary tree by the epithelial cells lining the bile-duct (cholangiocytes). After its secretion, bile is stored and concentrated in the gallbladder.

Detailed explanation-4: -The liver also produces about 800 to 1, 000 milliliters (27 to 34 fluid ounces) of bile each day. 3 Bile is secreted by the liver and stored in the gallbladder, a small organ attached to the underside of the liver. During meals, bile is released from the gallbladder through a tube called the common bile duct.
