The bile produced by hepatocytes drains into canaliculi, which are small channels that take the bile to the bile ductules. These eventually merge to become the common bile duct, which opens into the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine).

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.
What do hepatocytes secrete?
They secrete bile. They secrete bile.
What are the functions of hepatocytes?
Hepatocytes are the cells responsible for most of the main functions of the liver. They synthesize clotting factors, secrete bile salts and bile pigments, store lipids, vitamins and glycogen, biotransform toxic substances, waste products, drugs and hormones. Hepatocytes are amazingly diverse cells that carry out a huge range of functions, just some of which are mentioned above.
What are Bile salts synthesized from?
Hepatocytes which are cells of the liver
Why is the liver apart of the digestive and excretory system?
The liver IS an organ of digestion. The liver produces hypatocytes. Hepatocytes create bile.
What organ in our digestive system produces bile?
Bile is made by liver cells (hepatocytes) and stored in the Gall Bladder
Where is the Bile Produced?
Bile is produced in the liver and is then stored in the gallbladder.
Where is bile produced by the liver and stored?
Bile is stored in the gall bladder after it is secreted from the liver.
Trace the flow of bile from the liver to the duodenum listing all of the structure that come into contact with the bile on its journey.?
The hepatocytes in the liver produce bile, which then flows through the left and right hepatic ducts to the common hepatic duct. Once the common hepatic duct is filled, the bile flows into the cystic duct and then into the gallbladder where it is stored. The gallbladder allows the bile to flow back into the cystic duct and then the common bile duct which empties into the duodenum.
What structure does the gallbladder empty its content?
Bile is secreted by the hepatocytes of the liver. It is stored in the gallbladder between meals and upon eating is discharged in the duodenum where the bileaids in lipid digestion.
Is a chemical produced by the liver that helps break down fats?
Bile is produced by the liver which is then stored in the gallbladder below it, which sends it down the bile duct and into the duodenum where it emulsifies fat particles in the process of digesting lipids.Bile or gall is a bitter yellow or green alkaline fluid secreted by hepatocytes from the liver of most vertebrates. In many species, bile is stored in the gallbladder between meals and upon eating is discharged into the duodenum where the bile aids the process of digestion of lipids.
What are three ways in which a patient can become jaundiced?
1: Excessive destruction of erythrocytes, as in hemolysis, causes excess bilirubin in the blood.2: Malfunction of Liver Cells (Hepatocytes) because of Liver disease prevents the Liver from excreting bilirubin with bile.3: Obstruction of bile flow, such as from choledocholithiasis or tumor, prevents bilirubin in bile from being excreted into the duodenum.
