Solution

Bile:

  1. The liver secretes a digestive juice that is greenish-yellow in colour and is known as bile juice.
  2. Bile juice is stored in the gall bladder which then passes to the duodenum of the small intestine through the bile duct.
  3. The main function of bile juice is to break down complex fat molecules into tiny droplets for easy digestion and this process is also known as emulsification of fat.

Final answer:
The part of the small intestine that receives the bile is the duodenum.
