What is bilirubin?
Bilirubin is a pigment in bile created during the breakdown of haemoglobin, which is then excreted from the body in bile. It is bilirubin which gives people the characteristic yellow colour in jaundice (whether that be caused by liver failure, obstruction or an increased breakdown of haemoglobin).the liver
What is the composition of bile?
In addition to water, bile contains bile salts, bile pigments (bilirubin and biliverdin), cholesterol, and electrolytes.
Is bile secreted by hepatocytes?
Yes, the secretion of bile is one of the functions of hepatocytes. The bile released from hepatocytes drains into canaliculi, which become bile ductules and then the common bile duct.
Do doves have a bile?
do dove has a bile duct
Where is bile secreted and what does it contain?
Bile is secreted in the liver and discharge into duodenum. It contains bile salts, bile acid, bile pigment,neutral fat, phospholipid, electrolytes like na ions and water.
What is a bile pigment formed by the breakdown of hemoglobin from expired erythrocytes?
Bilirubin
What part of the hemoglobin molecule is recycled to form bile?
A portion of the heme group
What is the importance of bile salts in digestion?
the bile converts larger molecules of fat into emulsified fat by a process called emulsification
What is the function of the common bileduct?
To drain bile from the liver (and the gall bladder) into the small intestines. (Bile is a combination of waste products (mostly from decomposing hemoglobin) and solvents designed to help dissolve (digest) fats in your food.)

Is a bile duct the same as a bile?
no because bile is stored in the bile duct
Where from hemoglobin formed in human body?
Hemoglobin is produced in bone marrow by erythrocytes and is circulated with them until their destruction. It is then broken down in the spleen, and some of its components, such as iron, are recycled to the bone marrow. Other components, such as the heme groups, are broken down into bilirubin, transported to the liver, and secreted with the bile into the intestine for eventual elimination from the body.
Where is bile formed in the body?
The liver produces bile and then is stored in the ball bladder until needed. Then it is sent to the small intestines to break down fats.Bile is made up of bile salts, cholesterol and waste products. It is made in the liver and stored in the gall bladder. Bile breaks down fat so that the body can use it.A gallstone is a crystalline concretion formed within the gallbladder by accretion of bile components. The pancreas and liver.
What is the liquid secreted in liver?
bile
What is yellow bile?
Bile is yellow (it is the only colour it comes in!). It has two principle functions 1) as a detergent, emulsifying fats, giving them a higher surface area to enhance digestion, and 2) to alkalise (to increase the pH of, make less acidic) material passed into the duodenum from the stomach which is very acidic and would be damaging to the relatively unprotected tissues downstream of the stomach.
