ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The liver produces a digestive juice called bile. The gallbladder stores bile between meals. When a person eats, the gallbladder squeezes bile through the bile ducts, which connect the gallbladder and liver to the small intestine. The bile mixes with the fat in food.

Detailed explanation-2: -Two “solid” digestive organs, the liver and the pancreas, produce digestive juices that reach the intestine through small tubes called ducts. The gallbladder stores the liver’s digestive juices until they are needed in the intestine.

Detailed explanation-3: -Enzymes convert dissolved food (from the stomach) into energy the body can use. These organs-liver, gallbladder, and pancreas-perform many functions that aid digestion, as well as maintain a regulated energy flow to the rest of the body.

Detailed explanation-4: -The liver secretes bile juice which is used for the digestion of fats. Pancreas, on the other hand, produces pancreatic juice which digests starch and proteins into their simpler constituents.

Detailed explanation-5: -Your digestive system is made up of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and your liver, pancreas and gallbladder.
