Step 1

Bile is produced by the liver. Each day liver produces 500 to 600 ml bile. Bile salts are components of bile, other components are phospholipids, cholesterol, bilirubin. Bile flows from the liver then into the common hepatic duct and reaches the gallbladder via the cystic duct. The Cystic duct opens into the duodenum. Gall bladder stores bile.
