Role of Bile in Digestion

Bile is produced by  liver and stored in gall bladder. During digestion,  the gall bladder contracts  and supplies bile, rapidly to the duodenum through the common bile duct. As compared  to the  bile  produced  by  liver  (hepatic bile),  the  bile stored  in  gall bladder is more concentrated  (since water is absorbed during  the storage period indthe gall bladder) and high  in  bile salts, cholesterol an% pigments. Bile acids are cholic acid and deoxycholic acid and salt of these acids with glycine and taurine are known as bile salts.
