Bile in the human body is secreted by the liver and stored in the gallbladder. The liver of a normal person secretes about one liter of bile within 24 hours. The liver and gallbladder are connected through the bile duct. At the same time, bile is transported through the bile duct and stored in the gallbladder. The gallbladder is a hollow structure. Its main function is to discharge bile. Bile is an important part of the human digestive system. After eating, the stomach's peristalsis will cause the gallbladder to contract, and then bile will be discharged into the stomach and intestines to promote the digestion and absorption of fat.
