Question

One of the components of bile is not primarily secreted by hepatocytes

Answer 1

Bile is a unique and vital aqueous secretion of the liver that is formed by the hepatocyte and modified down stream by absorptive and secretory properties of the bile duct epithelium. Approximately 5% of bile consists of organic and inorganic solutes of considerable complexity. The bile-secretory unit consists of a canalicular network which is formed by the apical membrane of adjacent hepatocytes and sealed by tight junctions. The bile canaliculi (~1 μm in diameter) conduct the flow of bile countercurrent to the direction of portal blood flow and connect with the canal of Hering and bile ducts which progressively increase in diameter and complexity prior to the entry of bile into the gallbladder, common bile duct, and intestine.

Answer 2

Answer:

Which component/components of bile is/are not primarily secreted by hepatocytes? Bile salts are secreted by the hepatocytes of the liver, and synthesized in the liver. Thus, option 'b' is eliminated.
