Does the liver secrete bile?

I was reading about digestion today and got a bit confused about the liver's function. Someone told me it's involved with bile, but I'm not sure if it actually secretes it or just stores it. Just trying to clear up my concepts!

Yes, absolutely, liver ही bile बनाता है process करने के लिए. Many people think gallbladder makes it, but that only stores it. Keep your oily food intake low to keep the whole system running smoothly.

Of course it does. The liver secretes bile to help break down fats in your gut. If you are having issues digesting heavy foods, it is directly related to this whole process, so get an LFT done.

Yes, it does. I recently had gallbladder issues and my doctor explained that the liver makes the bile, while the gallbladder just stores it. Post my recovery, I have to be very careful with my fat intake so my liver doesn't get overloaded.

Yes, it secretes bile, but at my age, even with all that bile, one plate of chole bhature feels like a direct attack on my system. The liver tries its best but our lifestyle makes it work double shifts!
