The Liver produces bile which is stored in the Gllbladder. As your stomach and intestines digest food, your Gallbladder releases bile through a tube called the common bile duct. The duct connects your Gallbladder and liver to your small intestine.
After bile enters and passes down the small intestine, about 90% of bile salts are reabsorbed into the bloodstream through the wall of the lower small intestine. The liver extracts these bile salts from the blood and resecretes them back into the bile. Bile salts go through this cycle about 10 to 12 times a day. Each time, small amounts of bile salts escape absorption and reach the large intestine, where they are broken down by bacteria. Some bile salts are reabsorbed in the large intestine. The rest are excreted in the stool.

Bile is made in the liver and secreted into the Small intestines to neutralize the acidity of the chyme leaving the stomach. When there is no food entering the small intestines Bile is stored in the Gallbladder until it is needed.
What substance controls the release of bile into the small intestine?
Cholecystokinin (CCK), released by the duodenum in response to the presence of fats and proteins, stimulates the release of bile from the gallbladder into the small intestine.
How is the gallbladder connected to the small intestines?
through bile duct.
What are the enzymes of the small intestines and pancreas?
Pepsin
Where does the gallbladder pump bile through the bile duct into?
The bile duct opens into the duodenum (the first part of the small intestines).
Which part of body contains bile?

Where does the bile duct carry bile?
The bile duct carries bile to the proximal duodenum (the first part of the small intestines) and to the gall bladder (in most species).
How is gallbladder connected to small intestine?
the bile duct
Site where bile empties into small intestines?
The duodenum, through a site shared with the pancreas
Which organ uses bile to break down food?
The liver produces bile, which is stored in the gallbladder and released into the small intestine to help break down fats during digestion.
