Bile is produced by the liver and stored and concentrated in the gallbladder.
The liver plays a crucial role in digestion by secreting bile, which is essential for the emulsification of fats in the small intestine. The gallbladder acts as a reservoir that holds this bile until it is needed during digestion. When we eat, especially fatty foods, the gallbladder contracts and releases bile into the small intestine to aid in breaking down fats and absorbing nutrients.
