Term
The major components of bile are bile salts, phospholipids (lecithin), and cholesterol. Gallstones are composed primarily of cholesterol, bilirubin, and calcium salts (bile salts). What are the two types of stones?

>50% cholesterol is cholesterol stones, less than is pigment stones of black and brown
Term
Excessive secretion of cholesterol into bile is the most common cause of cholesterol supersaturation. Why?
Definition
High cholesterol concentration is toxic to the gall bladder decreasing motility and causing mucous hypersecretion. Decreased wall motility promotes crystal formation and thereby nucleation, or the formation of cholesterol aggregates.
