Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The liver is responsible for producing bile, which is then stored in the gallbladder and released into the small intestine to aid in the digestion of fats. Bile salts are recycled through a process known as enterohepatic circulation, where they are absorbed in the ileum (end of the small intestine), transported back to the liver via the bloodstream, and then re-secreted into the bile to aid in digestion again. No other organ listed depends on enterohepatic circulation to recycle bile salts.
