Bile
Bile, also called gall, is a yellowish liquid, produced by the liver, which aids the digestion of lipids in the small intestine. In humans, bile is produced continuously by the liver. The bile flows from the liver into the gallbladder, where it is retained until needed during food digestion. When we eat, the gallbladder releases the bile into the upper small intestine (duodenum) to help with breaking down fat in food. In the absence of bile, it is impossible to digest fats.
The composition of bile is 97-98% water, in addition to which there are bile salts, fats, and inorganic salts.
