The liver produces and secretes 250 to 1500 mL of bile per day. The major constituents of bile are bilirubin, biliverdin, bile salts, cholesterol and phospholipids. The bile salts play a very important role in the digestion of fats. The bile salts, which are partly water and partly lipid-soluble, emulsify the fat particles and as a result, the fat- drops acquired a greater surface area.
