What is "bile"?

arrow

Bile is a digestive fluid produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder in the human body. It plays a critical role in the digestion and absorption of fats. Bile is composed of water, bile salts, cholesterol, bilirubin, and other substances. It is released into the small intestine during the digestion process, where it helps break down fats into smaller molecules for better absorption. Additionally, bile aids in the elimination of waste products, particularly the removal of bilirubin, a byproduct of red blood cell breakdown. Its efficient production and secretion are essential for proper digestion and the overall health of the digestive system.
