Bile is stored in the ____
A
gall bladder
B
liver
C
pancreas
D
salivary gland
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The gallbladder stores and concentrates bile from the liver. The bile is then released into the first section of the small intestine (the duodenum), where it helps your body to break down and absorb fats from food.

Detailed explanation-2: -The gallbladder is attached to the underside of the liver and stores bile, which helps us digest fats. To understand the gallbladder, it helps to know the function of bile in the digestive system.

Detailed explanation-3: -Bile is a fluid that is made and released by the liver and stored in the gallbladder. Bile helps with digestion. It breaks down fats into fatty acids, which can be taken into the body by the digestive tract.

Detailed explanation-4: -Between meals, when there’s no fat that needs to be digested, most of the bile flows into the gallbladder instead, where it is concentrated and stored. The gallbladder usually holds about 30 to 80 milliliters (about 1 to 2.7 fluid ounces) of fluid.

Detailed explanation-5: -The gallbladder stores bile. As fatty food enters the upper portion of your small intestine (the duodenum), the gallbladder squeezes bile into the small intestine through the bile ducts.
