Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Enterohepatic circulation refers to the recycling of bile from the intestines back to the liver. Bile is produced by the liver and stored in the gall bladder before being released into the small intestine to aid in digestion, and much of it is reabsorbed in the ileum and transported back to the liver to be used again.
