Tutoring Biology 12, you cover human digestion – which mentions bile.<\/h1>\n

Bile is an oft-referred-to secretion: \u00a0in literature, it’s related to anger.\u00a0 Specifically, if someone’s “bile is up”, they’re in a bad mood.\u00a0 I don’t understand the association, but there it is.<\/p>\n

Bile is a greenish fluid made by the liver\u00a0but stored in the gall bladder.\u00a0 It’s made, partly, from\u00a0worn-out red blood cells.<\/p>\n

In the digestive system, bile emulsifies fats – which means it\u00a0separates large fat droplets into many\u00a0more small ones.\u00a0 Once the fat is spread out in\u00a0tiny droplets, it can be digested by the enzyme lipase.<\/p>\n

Via the bile duct, bile is released in the duodenum – the lead section of the small intestine\u00a0– so as to mix with the food passing through.<\/p>\n

Hope this helps:)<\/p>\n
