Bile contains bile slats that help in the process of emulsification of fats without which fats cannot be digested. emulsification of fats also increases the surface area of the fat malecules for lipase to act on.

What substance controls the release of bile into the small intestine?
Cholecystokinin. It targets the gallbladder causing it to release bile into the small intestines.
What type of food in the small intestine signals the release of bile?
Fat will trigger the release of bile from the gallbladder. The bile is created in the liver and placed in the gallbladder for later use.
When does the gallbladder contract?
the gallbladder contracts to release bile. Bile is released at specific amounts to absorb and break down non watersoulble substances. so Bile is released when fat is in the stomach
What hormone causes an increased output of enzyme-rich pancreatic juice and stimulates gallbladder contraction to release bile?
Bilirubin is used by the liver, to make bile
When does bile enter the gallbladder?
Bile enters the gallbladder between meals
Which organ in the body responsible for the storage of bile?
The gallbladder is the sac-like structure under the liver that stores about 30-50 ml of bile. The liver produces bile, and the gallbladder stores it. From there it is excreted, travels down the bile duct, where it passes through the pancreas, which produces lipase (which does break down fat), before it goes into your small intestine. The gallbladder releases bile into the duodenum, part of the small intestine, to aid in the digestion of fats. Bile emulsifies the fats, or breaks them into smaller particles, to assist in their digestion. If the bile salts crystallize, you get gallstones.The gallbladder will release bile only under the influence of cholecystokinin. When the chyme (food leaving the stomach after processing) passes through the plyoric sphincter (valve muscle connecting the doudenum to the pylorus (bottom part of stomach), this hormone is released, and the bile is released into the doudenum through a series of ducts that also lead from the pancreas, so the enzymes for further digestion can enter as well.Common Bile Ductsmall intestineAlthough the gallbladder does not make the bile, it is where the bile is stored.The gallbladder stores bile in the body until it is needed in the digestive process. When spicy or fatty foods are eaten, the gallbladder will release the bile into the stomach to help with the digestion.
Is bile stored in the liver or the gallbladder?
Bile is produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder.
Does the gallbladder produce or store enzymes?
Neither.The gallbladder will store bile, but bile is not an enzyme. Bile is produced by the liver.
Where does bile go after it leaves the gallbladder?
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.
What is stored in the frog gallbladder?
Bile
What will happen to a person whose gallbladder does not release the bile?
This is bile duct obstruction. Bile accumulates in the gallbladder and it will eventually get full. One of the job's of the liver is to transport billirubin (a waste product) to the gallbladder for excretion, but if the gallbladder is backed up, then billirubin will leak into the circulation, and the person will get jaundice. The person might also have trouble digesting fats and lipids.
Why do you vomit bile have no gallbladder?
the gallbladder doesn't make bile, the liver does. the gallbladder just helps to add it to your digestive tract in the correct amounts. its possible that you are getting too much bile at one time if you dont have a gallbladder.
