Abstract
Bile is a solution of organic and inorganic compounds in water. It is produced by hepatocytes and secreted into the bile canaliculi (canalicular bile). It is then modified as it passes through intrahepatic bile ductules and ducts (ductular bile). Most of the bile entering the extrahepatic biliary tree enters the gallbladder, where it is concentrated and stored between periods of digestion (gallbladder bile). Finally, meals stimulate gallbladder emptying which projects bile through the common bile duct into the duodenum, where bile facilitates digestion.
