Question

Which part of the alimentary canal receives bile from the liver?
A) Stomach
B) Small Intestine
C) Large Intestine
D) Oesophagus

Answer 1

Hint:The alimentary canal refers to the pathway via which the food enters the human body and leaves through the anus after undergoing the process of digestion.

Complete answer:
Alimentary canal is a tubular structure that starts from the mouth and makes its way right up to the anus. This organ plays an important role in the digestion process and hence, is also labelled as digestive tract.
Option A: Stomach represents the muscular bag present in the uppermost portion of the abdominal cavity in the left region. This comprises four different parts namely cardiac part, fundus, body, and pyloric. Therefore, this is the incorrect option.
Option B: Small intestine represents the largest portion of your alimentary canal and is known to comprise three different parts – jejunum, duodenum, and ileum. The small intestine receives bile from your liver. This bile is later stored within the gallbladder which executes two different functions - making food alkaline and breaking down its fats content. Therefore, this is the correct option.
Option C: The small intestine then makes its way into this larger protruding region called the large intestine. Caecum, colon, and rectum form the three main parts of our large intestine. Therefore, this is the incorrect option.
Option D: The portion of the alimentary canal connecting your throat to your stomach is known as oesophagus. Therefore, this is the incorrect option.

Thus, the correct option is B) small intestine.

Note:It is the hepato-pancreatic duct which is responsible for the release of the bile into your small intestine.
