Question

Bile secreted by the liver is normally stored in the
A. Gall bladder
B. Stomach
C. Small intestine
D. Large intestine

Answer 1

Hint: A pear-shaped organ present just beneath the liver.

Complete answer:
Bile is a dark green to yellowish-brown fluid produced by the liver of most vertebrates that aids the digestion of lipids in the small intestine. In humans, bile is produced continuously by the liver and stored and concentrated in the gallery bladder.
The composition of bile is 97-98% water, 0.7% bile salts, 0.2% bilirubin, 0.5% fats, and some inorganic salts. The two main pigments of bile are bilirubin, which is orange-yellow, and its oxidized form biliverdin, which is green in color. They're responsible for the brown color of farces when mixed.
Gall bladder receives and stores bile, produced by the liver, via the common hepatic duct, and releases it via the common bile duct into the duodenum, where the bile helps in the digestion of fats. They help in emulsifying the lipids in the blood and increases the absorption of the fat-soluble substances like vitamins A, D, E, and K.
Bile tends to be alkaline on average. The pH of the common duct bile is 7.50 to 8.05. Bile in the Gall bladder becomes more acidic the longer the person goes without eating. As an alkali, it also has the function of neutralizing excess stomach acid before it enters the duodenum, the first secretion of the small intestine.

So, the correct answer is the ‘Gall bladder’.

Note: The gallbladder can be affected by the gallstones, formed by the material that cannot be dissolved which are usually cholesterol or bilirubin, a product of hemoglobin breakdown. These may cause significant pain in the upper right corner of the abdomen and are often treated with removal of the gallbladder called Cholecystectomy.
