It effects fats, by breaking large bits of it into smaller one, making it easier for the lipase in pancreatic juice to digest them. =]
Bile from the gallbladder travels to the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine) through the common bile duct. Once in the duodenum, bile aids in the digestion and absorption of fats from the food we eat.

The bile duct leads to the small intestine, specifically the duodenum. It carries bile, a digestive fluid produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder, which helps in the digestion and absorption of fats from the food we eat.
the Duodenum
Bile from the gallbladder and pancreatic enzymes are mixing with food in the duodenum. Bile helps emulsify fats, making them easier to digest, while pancreatic enzymes help break down carbohydrates, proteins, and fats in the food.
The sphincter at the distal end of the common bile duct that controls the flow of bile into the duodenum is called the sphincter of Oddi. This muscular structure regulates the release of bile and pancreatic juice into the small intestine, aiding in digestion. It opens in response to hormonal signals, particularly when food enters the duodenum.
The first part of the small intestine where bile and enzymes mix with food from the stomach is the duodenum. This process is crucial for further digestion and nutrient absorption in the body.
The bile is stored in the gallbladder and after it leaves the gallbladder it travels to the duodenum. Bile is a very powerful antioxidant which helps in removingÊ toxins from the liver.

The pancreas and the gallbladder are the associated glands connected to the duodenum. The pancreas secretes digestive enzymes into the duodenum to help with the breakdown of food, while the gallbladder stores and releases bile produced by the liver to aid in the digestion and absorption of fats in the duodenum.
This organ is called the duodenum.
