Why is Bile released in to the small intestines?

The Liver produces bile which is stored in the Gllbladder. As your stomach and intestines digest food, your Gallbladder releases bile through a tube called the common bile duct. The duct connects your Gallbladder and liver to your small intestine. After bile enters and passes down the small intestine, about 90% of bile salts are reabsorbed into the bloodstream through the wall of the lower small intestine. The liver extracts these bile salts from the blood and resecretes them back into the bile. Bile salts go through this cycle about 10 to 12 times a day. Each time, small amounts of bile salts escape absorption and reach the large intestine, where they are broken down by bacteria. Some bile salts are reabsorbed in the large intestine. The rest are excreted in the stool.

What job does bile do?

You have bile salts, those are secreted in the bile. You have bile salts called as sodium taurocholate and sodium glycocholate. They act as the agents, which emulsify the fat. That means the fat is broken down to very small spherical particles. This greatly increase the surface area of contact between the lipase enzyme and fat. This helps in digestion of the fat. The bile salts are reabsorbed in lower part of the intestine. So the bile salts are recycled. This process is called as 'Enterohepatic' circulation.
