Press the numbers and see what’s what.

Bubble Works: a domed tangerine and purple factory puffs green bubbles from its chimneys, piped to a green pear-shaped tank on stilts that feeds a giant bubble wand, with pipes, dials and conveyor belts around a paved courtyard.

Your guide to Bubble Works

On the hill above the small intestine stands Bubble Works: the liver, which makes bile all day, and the gallbladder, a small pear-shaped pouch tucked underneath that stores it and makes it stronger by taking out water.

When a meal with fat in it arrives, the gallbladder squeezes and bile flows down a duct into the small intestine. Bile salts break fat into tiny droplets, so lipase has more surface to cut. Bile doesn’t cut anything itself, which is why it isn’t an enzyme.

Far-out fact

Bile is made in the liver and stored in the gallbladder. It’s a soap for fat, not an enzyme.

Bile salts have a side that likes water and a side that likes fat. That’s exactly how soap works.

Locals and staff

No crew lives up here. Bubble Works ships its product down a duct to the small intestine.
