Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The two main pigments of bile are bilirubin, which is yellow, and its oxidised form biliverdin, which is green.
Detailed explanation-2: -The gallbladder stores bile-a dark green fluid that helps your body digest and absorb food. After you eat, your gallbladder releases bile into your cystic duct. From there, bile moves down the common bile duct and enters your small intestine.
Detailed explanation-3: -Once bile exits the extrahepatic biliary system into the duodenum, over 90% of bile salts are reabsorbed from the intestinal tract, transported back to the liver via the portal system, and recirculated. Bilirubin and biliverdin contribute to the yellow-green color of bile.
