The function of the liver is that it creates it. It has special cells called hepatocytes to produce it. And then it sends it on its way to be stored in the gall bladder or drained directly into the stomach to assist in digestion of fats. There is a whole interconnected system of ductwork that the liver uses for the bile to travel down - usually called the biliary tree. Bile is first collected from the cells in the bile canaliculi, which merge into bile ducts, then the left and right hepatic ducts, and then the common hepatic duct. From there - it can either swing into the gall bladder via the cystic duct, or continue downward into common bile duct - which connects into the duodenum.
bile
YES. and then it will be stored in the gallbladder which is located just below the liver.
No... The liver does... Then the bile is stored in the gallbladder.No. The liver produces bile. The spleen assists in the filtration of red blood cells (RBC), removing RBC's that are close to 90-120 days old.
Bile
The digestive system has various parts each with its function. Producing bile is the main purpose of liver. The bile emulsifies fats to aid digestion in the small intestine.
Bile
In frogs, the liver produces bile, which is a digestive liquid that helps in the breakdown of fats in the small intestine. The liver also plays a role in detoxification and metabolism of nutrients in the body.
Bile is the digestive juice from your liver. Bile salts break down fat. Hope this helps :)
The liver serves to detoxify blood, to synthesize protein, and to produce certain biochemicals and enzymes necessary for digestion. In the digestive system specifically, the liver serves to store glycogen, vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin B12, iron, and copper. It also breaks down toxic substances, turning them into proteins that can be excreted safely, and produces bile, a substance that facilitates digestion of lipids (fats) in the intestine.
breakdown of fats with bile
No, the liver produces bile that emulsifies fats.
The liver is the largest and only bile producing organ.
