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.
