BTO:0000121 ·resolve ·HOST_ASSOCIATED ·EXACT SEEDED

A fluid secreted by the liver and poured into the small intestine via the bile ducts. Important constituents are conjugated bile salts, cholesterol, phospholipid, bilirubin diglucuronide, and electrolytes. Bile is alkaline due to its bicarbonate content, is golden brown to greenish yellow in color, and has a bitter taste. Bile secreted by the liver is concentrated in the gallbladder. — BTO

Machine-generated and unreviewed. Its grounding comes from the seeder's rules, not from a curator.
