Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -In the human liver, bile is composed of 97–98% water, 0.7% bile salts, 0.2% bilirubin, 0.51% fats (cholesterol, fatty acids, and lecithin), and 200 meq/L inorganic salts.
Detailed explanation-2: -Bile is a complex aqueous secretion that originates from hepatocytes and is modified distally by absorptive and secretory transport systems in the bile duct epithelium. Bile then enters the gallbladder where it is concentrated or is delivered directly to the intestinal lumen.
