Bile is a liquid secreted from the liver and stored in the gall bladder. Bile is released from the gall bladder into the small intestine when fats need to be digested. The bile breaks down the fat and allows absorption and digestion. It also plays a role in eliminating cholesterol from the body

Bile is the yellowish pigment/fluid which is secreted in the pancreas and released to the small intestines for the digestion of fats or lipids. Bile is composed of bile acids and bile salts, etc. These two are very vital in digesting fats into smaller ones so they could be utilized or disposed of properly.

No, bile is something that your gallbladder makes and your liver stores that is injected into the digestive system during the digestive process. It helps break down the fats in your food to enable it to be absorbed.
