Where is the bile produced? Which component of the food does it help to digest?

Bile is produced in the liver and stored in the gallbladder before being released into the small intestine during digestion.

Digestive Role: Bile plays a crucial role in digesting fats (lipids). It aids in emulsifying fats, breaking them down into smaller droplets. This process increases the surface area for digestive enzymes like lipases to efficiently break down fats into fatty acids and glycerol in the small intestine. Bile’s action supports the digestion and absorption of fats in the digestive system.
