They are made by the liver and are stored in the gall bladder. They help breakdown fats into smaller lipids.

Does bile contain enzymes that emulsify fats?
Yes! Bile salts are produced in the liver, stored in the gall bladder and secreted in the small intestine's duodenum. Because they emulsify fats, they are often thought of as digestion's detergent.
How does the liver helps the body?
Liver secretes bile juice which is stored in gall bladder. Bile is alkaline and contains salts which help to emulsify fats present in the food.
How do bile salts help with digestion?
bile salts emulsify fats and solubilize them ,thus the are absorbed.Bile salt is completely necessary for digestion in the body. They help to break down the fat in our body that otherwise could not be digested. The bile salts help to break down the fat molecules into smaller parts, and they are then easily digestible by the small and large intestine.After the bile salts are done doing their job, they are returned back to the liver and recycled, and are used again when they are needed. Bile salts are basically sodium based salts that are all derived from the liver.
Bile salts are responsible for the digestion and absorption of?
Bile is produced in the liver and helps to digest fat in the human body. Once produced, bile is stored in the gallbladder and is discharged into the duodenum when a person eats.
What has lipids in them?
lipids are fats found in food. some foods that contain lipids are cheese, cakes, butter, chips etc. they are broken down by pancreatic lipases in the small intestine and also bile salts which help to emulsify the fat. (bile salts act as a kind of detergent breaking the fats up into tiny droplets.)
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
this substance emulsifies fats in the digestive system?
Sodium taurocholate and sodium glycocholate are sodium salt and are the chief ingredient of the bile of mammals. Glycocholic acid is a conjugate of cholic acid with glycine. Taurocholic acid is a conjugate of cholic acid with taurine. These bile salts help to emulsify the fatty substances for absorption.
How does bile help lipase enzymes get their work done?
Bile acts to some extent as a detergent, helping to emulsify fats (increasing surface area to help enzyme action), and thus aids in their absorption in the small intestine
Does the pancreas produce the lipase?
Lipase is not produced by your liver. Liver secretes the bile salts. They help in digestion of the fats.
Does bile help break down proteins and amino acids?
Bile breaks down fats into smaller particles that can be more easily digested.
How is cholesterol beneficial?
Cholesterol gives these benefits in your body:Membrane fluidity in cell membranesDigestion (Cholesterol is used to make bile salts to help emulsify fats in the diet)Hormones (Cholesterol can be made into body hormones)Vitamin D (Cholesterol can be made into vitamin D in skin)
What role do bile salts play in the digestion of salts?
Functions of Bile juiceBile juice reduces acidity of chyme. The food coming from the stomach has to be made alkaline for the pancreatic enzymes on act on them.It kills the germs and bacteria which are present in food.It helps in emulsificaton of fats. In emulsification, fat molecules are broken down mechanically into smaller droplets so that the enzymes responsible for their breakdown can act on them easily.How Bile emulsifies fatsBile is alkaline solution. Its molecules have dual nature (one end is attracted to water molecule while other is attracted to fat molecule). Thus its molecules remain in between water molecules and fat molecules (emulsification process).If bile molecules were not present between fats and water, the fat molecules would be repelled by water molecules and be attracted to each other. The fat molecules would merge together because fats are insoluble in water. The merged fats would not be easily broken down with lipase (fat digesting enzyme).So bile attracts the fat molecules and separate them from each other. It makes the fat digestion easier.Bile is a yellowish substance made in the liver, stored in the gallbladder and is released when fatty food moves from the stomach into the duodenum of the small intestine.
