Bile assists in digestion; without it we wouldn't be able to obtain as much energy from the same food, and would either need to eat far more or starve.

Bile is necessary for the digestion and absorption of fats in the small intestine. It helps emulsify fats, making them easier for enzymes to break down. Bile also plays a role in the elimination of waste products from the body.

How does bile enter the gallbladder Since bile is made in the liver and travels down the common bile duct how does it go back up into the gallbladder?

The liver secretes bile into the left and right hepatic ducts, which join to form the common hepatic duct. The cystic duct leaves the gallbladder and joins the common hepatic duct to form the common bile duct, which connects to the small intestine. There is a sphincter that controls the bile flow from the common bile duct to the small intestine, and when it's contracted, the bile that is secreted from the liver travels up the cystic duct to be stored in the gallbladder.
