which organ produces bile

The organ that produces bile is the liver.

Quick Scoop

  • Bile is a yellow‑green digestive fluid made continuously by the liver cells (hepatocytes).
  • The bile then travels through small bile ducts and can be stored and concentrated in the gallbladder, but the gallbladder only stores bile; it does not produce it.
  • Bile helps digest and absorb fats in the small intestine, especially in the duodenum.

So, if an exam or quiz asks “which organ produces bile,” the correct one‑word answer is: liver.
