101
Q

What happens to the bile after it is secreted through the duodenum?

102
Q

How is the liver stimulated to produce more bile?

A

Through the return of bile to the liver via the enterohepatic circulation system because this signals to the hepatocytes that bile has recently been released from the gallbladder. Also stimulated through secretin (mildly)
