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: -Bile is essential for digesting fats and for eliminating worn-out red blood cells and certain toxins from your body. Bile is produced in your liver and stored in your gallbladder.
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.
