Where is bile found?

Best Answers

Bile or gall is a dark green to yellowish brown fluid, produced by the liver of most vertebrates, that aids the digestion of lipids in the small intestine. In humans, bile is produced continuously by the liver (liver bile), and stored and concentrated in the gallbladder. After eating, this stored bile is discharged into the duodenum. read more

As the chyme (food digested by stomach) passes through the duodenum, which is the primary part of the small intestine, the gall bladder contracts, sending bile down the common bile duct and eventually opening through the duodenum. read more
