Bile is produced in the liver and stored and concentrated in the gallbladder, then transported to the duodenum via the bile duct when needed.
The bile salts break down fats (called gall) via emulsification, which enlarges the surface area of the fats, and allows for more efficient digestion of lipids by enzymes in the duodenum.
Bile is a sticky semi-thick substance that is dark in color. It is a bitter, alkaline, brown/yellow/green fluid. It is an alkaline liuid composed mostly of water, bile salts, bile pigments (bilirubin, from the breakdown of hemoglobin), fats, and cholesterol.
Presuming that we are referencing a HEALTHY HUMAN BEING (post infancy) then: BILE is PRODUCED & SECRETED by the LIVER and EXCESS amounts will be STORED in the GALL BLADDER the liver The liver. It's then stored by the gallbladder. stomach
Bile is made by the liver and stored and released into the intestine in response to dietary fat by the gall bladder.

The secrete gastric juice and the digestive hormones are secreted from the small intestines during the digestion process.
A fluid secreted into the small intestine during digestion?
A fluid secreted into the small intestine during digestion is a bile. A bile contains cholesterol, emulsification agents, and phospholipids.
What absorbs water in the process of digestion?
The small intestines absorb most of the water during digestion.
What is pepsin secreted by?
Pepsin is secreted by the chief cells in the stomach lining. It is an enzyme that plays a key role in breaking down proteins into smaller peptides during the process of digestion.
What is the excretory organ for bile?
AnswerThe gall bladder.Bile is secreted by the liver, but it is stored in the gallbladder. During digestion, bile is discharged into the duodenum (small intestine) and aids in the emulsification, digestion, and absorption fat.
Is ptyalin secreted by cells in the stomach?
No, ptyalin is an enzyme secreted by salivary glands in the mouth. It helps to break down starches in food into sugars during the initial stages of digestion.
What is the term for the tubelike structure through which food passes during digestion?
Esophagus
Why does your stomach growl even when i am not hungry?
Often, a growling stomach is not a growling stomach. Intestines may make noises during digestion.
What assists the metabolization of protein?
Enzymes in the body help to metabolize protein. The process occurs during digestion and as the food flows through the intestines.
Pepsinogen is the precursor to the gastric enzyme for protein digestion and is secreted by the parietal cells?
it is secreted by stomach glands as an inactive proenzyme, pepsinogen, which is converted to pepsin by the cleavage of acid-labile linkages in the acidic (low pH) environment of the stomach.
Once you drink water how is it digested and where does it go?
It is passed from the stomach into the large intestine where further digestion occurs. From there it is passed to the small intestines where final digestion occurs. From there, to the colon.
What organ secretes carboxypeptidase?
Carboxypeptidase is secreted by Pancreas in inactive form (procarboxypeptidase) and is activated by trypsin. Carboxypeptidase is also secreted by small intestine as brush border enzyme. Reference: Human Anatomy and Physiology by Elaine N. Marieb
