Abstract

[The bile produced in the liver is transported to the duodenum through the bile ducts. Bile mixes with the food bolus in the duodenum and facilitates digestion and absorption of certain nutrients. The liver produces bile at a constant volume, while bile is only required after a meal. Therefore, a storage system is present, which consists of the gallbladder. Whether bile is transported to the duodenum or the gallbladder is controlled in an elegant way, the volume of bile transported to the duodenum is dependent of the production in the liver, the contents and contraction of the gallbladder, and the contraction of the sphincter of Oddi. The bile ducts itself do not play a role in the regulation of bile transport as there is no peristalsis in these ducts.]
