Which organ produces bile?

Bile is produced by the liver. The liver’s hepatocytes synthesize bile, which then travels through bile ducts and is stored and concentrated in the gallbladder until it’s released into the small intestine when fatty foods arrive. While the gallbladder stores bile and the pancreas and stomach have their own digestive secretions, only the liver actually makes bile.
