The gall bladder is a small sac that holds bile, a digestive juice produced by the liver that is used in the breakdown of dietary fats. The gall bladder extracts water from its store of bile until the liquid becomes highly concentrated.
The human liver produces approximately 400ml to 800ml of bile each day. Hepatocytes of the liver secrete bile, which is then released into the canaliculi before entering the bile ducts.The bile ducts add to this secretion a liquid rich with bicarbonates. Next, a hormone called cholecystokinin (CCK), causes gall bladder contraction, which discharges bile into the duodenum.he human liver produces approximately 400ml to 800ml of bile each day. Hepatocytes of the liver secrete bile, which is then released into the canaliculi before entering the bile ducts.
