Correct option is C
The correct answer is (c) Gall bladder
Explanation:
• The liver produces bile juice, which is essential for the digestion and absorption of fats in the small intestine.
• Bile is transported from the liver to the gall bladder, where it is stored and concentrated.
• When food enters the small intestine, the gall bladder contracts and releases the concentrated bile to aid digestion.
Information Booster:
• Bile contains bile salts, cholesterol, bilirubin, water, and electrolytes.
• The removal of the gall bladder is a surgical procedure known as cholecystectomy, which a person can live without, but digestion of fats can be affected.
Additional Knowledge:
(a) Urinary bladder .:
• The urinary bladder stores urine, which is produced by the kidneys, not bile.
(b) Liver .:
• The liver produces bile, but does not store it in a dedicated sac.
(d) Pancreas .:
• The pancreas produces pancreatic juice containing digestive enzymes and hormones like insulin, but not bile.
