What is the composition of bile?
Bile is composed of water, electrolytes, bile salts, cholesterol, bilirubin, and phospholipids. It is produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder before being released into the small intestine to aid in the digestion and absorption of fats.
What are the characteristics of bile?
Bile is a greenish-yellow fluid produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder. It plays a key role in digestion by breaking down fats and assisting in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Bile is composed of bile salts, cholesterol, and bilirubin.
What is another name for small bile ducts?
Another name for small bile ducts are intrahepatic bile ducts. These ducts help carry bile from the liver cells to the larger bile ducts in the liver.
Which organ of the body is responsible for removing bile?
Bile is produced in liver, stored in gallbladder and excreted into small intestine through the bile duct to aid lipid digestion. Bile pigment is a component of bile.
What is Bile pH level?
The hepatic Bile has a pH of about 7.4 and the Bladder bile has a pH of about 6.8. On an average the pH of bile juice is between 6.8 and 7.6.
What is the composition of bile?
Bile is composed of water, electrolytes, bile salts, cholesterol, bilirubin, and phospholipids. It is produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder before being released into the small intestine to aid in the digestion and absorption of fats.
Gallstones are usually composed of?
Bile is the major vehicle for cholesterol excretion from the body, and bile salt keeps the cholesterol dissolved within bile. to much cholesterol or to little bile salt is what causes gallstones to happen. they are made up of cholesterol. see page 885 anatomy and physiology 8th

How do the accessory organ aid digestion?
In addition to the alimentary canal, vertebrate digestive systems include the following accessory organs: The liver secretes a substance called bile into the gallbladder, where it is stored for eventual use in digestion. Bile is a fluid mixture composed of bile pigment and bile salt. Bile pigment is a waste product resulting from destroyed red blood cells. Bile salt plays an important role in preparing fats for digestion. The gallbladder stores and concentrates bile secreted by the liver. Fatty food in the small intestine triggers contractions in the gallbladder, releasing bile into the bile duct, which transports it into the small intestine. The pancreas produces a fluid mixture, called pancreatic juice, composed of digestive enzymes and a bicarbonate buffer, which balances the pH levels in the digestive tract. The pancreas secretes pancreatic juice containing digestive enzymes into the small intestine, where it is used to break down proteins, starches, and fats.
Is a bile duct the same as a bile?
no because bile is stored in the bile duct
What enzyme in bile juice found?
There are no enzymes in bile to the best of my knowledge. It is primarily composed of bile acids, bile pigments, cholesterol, and phospholipids. If enzymes do exist in bile they are in minut concentrations and are unnecessary for its functioning. The primary purpose of bile is to emulsify fats. What that means is they increase the surface area of fats so that enzymes may work on them more effectively. These enzymes are secreted by the pancrease. drazx is the original author of this answer
What is the liquid secreted in liver?
bile
What sort of chemical is the bile?
Bile is not a chemical, it is bile salts.
What is the fucntion of oxgall?
Oxbile (Oxgall) is dehydrated bile for use in preparing microbiological culture media. Oxbile is manufactured from large quantities of fresh bile by rapid evaporation of the water content. Bile is composed of fatty acids, bile acids, inorganic salts, sulfates, bile pigments, cholesterol, mucin, lecithin, glycuronicacids, porphyrins, and urea. The use of Oxbile insures a regular supply of bile, and uniformity impossible to obtain with fresh materials. Oxbile is dehydrated fresh bile and prepared specifically for differentiation of bile tolerant microorganisms. A 10% solution of dehydrated bile is equivalent to a fresh bile solution. It is usually incorporated into media e.g., Bile Esculin Agar and Brilliant Green Bile Agar, used for the determination of enteric pathogens. Oxbile is also found in Littman Agar, a selective fungal medium. It is used as a selective agent for the isolation of Gram-negative microorganisms, inhibiting Gram-positive bacteria. The major composition of Oxbile is taurocholic and glycocholic acids.
What is goat bile?
Bile= Throwup Goat+Bile=Goat throwup
What organ transports bile from the gallbladder?
The bile duct transports bile from the gallbladder to the small intestine.
When is bile made?
Bile is made when food enters your stomach and your liver produces bile.
