100 ml to 200ml

Note
Adult humans produce 400 ml to 800 ml of bile daily, and other animals proportionately similar amounts. The secretion of bile can considered in two stages:
1. Initially, hepatocytes secrete bile into canaliculi, from which it flows into bile ducts. This hepatic bile contains large quantities of cholesterol, bile acids, and other organic molecules
2.As bile flows through the bile duct it is modified by addition of a watery, bicarbonate-rich secretion from ductal epithelial cells.
