Your liver produces bile, which is stored in the gall bladder until it's triggered by eating foods that contain fat. Bile is then released into the small intestine where it works like a detergent to emulsify the fats into smaller droplets. This makes it easier for pancreatic lipase to break down the fat. If people who don't have a gall bladder eat a lot of fatty foods, the fat isn't digested and acts as a laxative.

Does the liver store digestive juices?

No, the liver does not store digestive juices. That would be the pancrease. HOWEVER, the liver does synthesize bile. This is not a digestive juice, but it does emulsify fat. Basically, this means that it breaks it down so that the surface area of the fact increases, exposing more of the fat to the enzymes. This will enable the enzymes to operate more efficiently. However, bile is not stored in the liver, it is only synthesized there. Bile is stored in the gallbladder.


What is the digestive juice that brecks down fat?

The digestive juice that breaks down fat is called bile. Bile is produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder, and it contains bile salts that emulsify fats, making them easier for digestive enzymes to act upon. Additionally, pancreatic lipase, an enzyme secreted by the pancreas, further breaks down the emulsified fats into fatty acids and glycerol for absorption in the intestines.
