Detailed explanation-1: -Bile (from Latin bilis), or gall, is a yellow-green fluid produced by the liver of most vertebrates that aids the digestion of lipids in the small intestine.
Detailed explanation-2: -Bile (or gall) is a bitter, yellow or green alkaline fluid secreted by hepatocytes from the liver of most vertebrates. In many species, it is stored in the gallbladder between meals and upon eating is discharged into the duodenum where it excretes waste and aids the process of digestion of lipids.
Detailed explanation-3: -Liver produces a greenish-yellow fluid called bile juice and it is stored in gall bladder. It lacks enzymes for the digestion of food. Bile helps in the breakdown of large fat globules into tiny fat droplets so that enzymes can act on them easily.
Detailed explanation-4: -Bile is a digestive fluid produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder. During bile reflux, digestive fluid backs up into the stomach and, in some cases, the esophagus.
