Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Bile then enters the gallbladder where it is concentrated or is delivered directly to the intestinal lumen.
Detailed explanation-2: -The gallbladder stores and concentrates bile from the liver. The bile is then released into the first section of the small intestine (the duodenum), where it helps your body to break down and absorb fats from food.
Detailed explanation-3: -Bile is a special substance that breaks down fat molecules. Bile is produced by the liver and is stored in small pouch below the organ called the gall bladder. After you eat something, bile passes from the gall bladder into the small intestine. The bile mixes with fats in food and breaks them into small fat droplets.
