Question

Where is bile produced?
A) In gallbladder
B) In blood
C) In liver
D) In spleen

Answer 1

Hint:Bile juice is yellow in colour and it helps with digestion of fats and lipids. It breaks down the fats to fatty acids which are smaller molecules and thus can be taken up by the digestive tract. The pH of bile is 7 to 8.

Complete answer:
Let us analyse the options to find the correct answer.
Option A: Gall bladder is a small pouch which is found near the liver and its major function is to store bile juice and not produce it. Therefore, this is the incorrect option.
Option B : Blood is the liquid connective tissue, helps in transport of gases and digested food material. Blood contains different types of cells. Therefore, this is the incorrect option.
Option C: Liver is a triangular and bilobed structure which has a large right lobe and small left lobe. One of the major functions of the liver is to produce bile. Therefore, this is the correct option.
Bile is secreted by the hepatic cells which are present in the liver. The bile juice passes from the hepatic duct and then is concentrated in the gallbladder.
Option D: Spleen is the organ which recognizes and removes old, malformed, or damaged red blood cells. Therefore, this is the incorrect option.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C) in the liver.

Note:Jaundice is a disease in which the skin, whites of the eyes and mucous membranes turn yellow because of a high level of bilirubin, a yellow-orange bile pigment.400-800 ml of bile is produced by adult humans every day.
