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.
Why is bile not considered an enzyme?
Bile is not considered an enzyme. Bile rather allows enzymes to interact more effectively with enzymes secreted by the pancrease. The way that bile does this is to help break fat into small droplets and surrounding these droplets. These droplets are called micelles. This provides increased total surface area of fat for pancreatic lipolytic enzymes to interact with. These primary enzymes that interact with the bile formed micelle are glycerol ester hydrolase (pancreatic lipase), cholesterol esterase, and phospholipase A2. Bile is primary composed of the following: (1) bile acids, (2) bile pigments, (3) cholesterol, and (4) phospholipids. drazx is the original author of this answer Bile is not an enzyme. It breaks up oil droplets. it also neutralises stomach acids.
Do doves have a bile?
do dove has a bile duct
Gallstones are usually composed of?
Bile is the major vehicle for cholesterol excretion from the body, and bile salt keeps the cholesterol dissolved within bile. to much cholesterol or to little bile salt is what causes gallstones to happen. they are made up of cholesterol. see page 885 anatomy and physiology 8th
How do the accessory organ aid digestion?
In addition to the alimentary canal, vertebrate digestive systems include the following accessory organs: The liver secretes a substance called bile into the gallbladder, where it is stored for eventual use in digestion. Bile is a fluid mixture composed of bile pigment and bile salt. Bile pigment is a waste product resulting from destroyed red blood cells. Bile salt plays an important role in preparing fats for digestion. The gallbladder stores and concentrates bile secreted by the liver. Fatty food in the small intestine triggers contractions in the gallbladder, releasing bile into the bile duct, which transports it into the small intestine. The pancreas produces a fluid mixture, called pancreatic juice, composed of digestive enzymes and a bicarbonate buffer, which balances the pH levels in the digestive tract. The pancreas secretes pancreatic juice containing digestive enzymes into the small intestine, where it is used to break down proteins, starches, and fats.

Is a bile duct the same as a bile?
no because bile is stored in the bile duct
What enzyme in bile juice found?
There are no enzymes in bile to the best of my knowledge. It is primarily composed of bile acids, bile pigments, cholesterol, and phospholipids. If enzymes do exist in bile they are in minut concentrations and are unnecessary for its functioning. The primary purpose of bile is to emulsify fats. What that means is they increase the surface area of fats so that enzymes may work on them more effectively. These enzymes are secreted by the pancrease. drazx is the original author of this answer
What is the fucntion of oxgall?
Oxbile (Oxgall) is dehydrated bile for use in preparing microbiological culture media. Oxbile is manufactured from large quantities of fresh bile by rapid evaporation of the water content. Bile is composed of fatty acids, bile acids, inorganic salts, sulfates, bile pigments, cholesterol, mucin, lecithin, glycuronicacids, porphyrins, and urea. The use of Oxbile insures a regular supply of bile, and uniformity impossible to obtain with fresh materials. Oxbile is dehydrated fresh bile and prepared specifically for differentiation of bile tolerant microorganisms. A 10% solution of dehydrated bile is equivalent to a fresh bile solution. It is usually incorporated into media e.g., Bile Esculin Agar and Brilliant Green Bile Agar, used for the determination of enteric pathogens. Oxbile is also found in Littman Agar, a selective fungal medium. It is used as a selective agent for the isolation of Gram-negative microorganisms, inhibiting Gram-positive bacteria. The major composition of Oxbile is taurocholic and glycocholic acids.
What is the liquid secreted in liver?
bile
What sort of chemical is the bile?
Bile is not a chemical, it is bile salts.
What is a goat's bile?
Bile= Throwup Goat+Bile=Goat throwup
What is goat bile?
Bile= Throwup Goat+Bile=Goat throwup
When is bile made?
Bile is made when food enters your stomach and your liver produces bile.
Is bile the same as bile salts?
no, bile is different from bile salt.bile is the secretion of the liver consisting of water, bile salt,bile pigment,cholestorol,lecithin and several ion it emulsifies lipids prior to their digestion.
