Storage & concentration of bile
- Storage of Bile:
- Bile is continuously secreted by liver.
- Released intermittently into intestine
- Most stored in gallbladder.
- Concentration of Bile:
- Bile is concentrated during its gallbladder storage.
- Gallbladder mucosa rapidly reabsorbs water & electrolytes.
- Calcium & potassium, bile salts, bile pigments, cholesterol, and lecithin are not reabsorbed.
- Hence their bile concentration increases 5 to 10 times.
How does gall bladder effect on pH of bile?
| A |
Makes bile pH neutral |
|
| B |
Bile pH decreases from 8 – 8.6 to 7 – 7.6. |
|
| C |
Bile pH increases from 7 – 7.6 to 8 – 8.6. |
|
| D |
No effect on bile pH |

Bile pH decreases from 8 – 8.6 to 7 – 7.6.
Alteration of Bile pH:
- Becomes less alkaline during storage.
- Bile pH decreases from 8 – 8.6 to 7 – 7.6.
