Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which organ produces bile that breaks down food?
A
pancreas
B
liver
C
gall bladder
D
stomach
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The pancreas and bile duct (biliary) systems together form an important part of the digestive system. The pancreas and liver produce juices (pancreatic juice and bile) which help in the process of digestion (i.e. the breakdown of foods into parts which can be absorbed easily and used by the body).

Detailed explanation-3: -When the liver has broken down harmful substances, its by-products are excreted into the bile or blood. Bile by-products enter the intestine and leave the body in the form of feces. Blood by-products are filtered out by the kidneys, and leave the body in the form of urine.
