Question

Bile is concerned with

• A. Digestion of fat by enzymatic action
• B. Emulsification of fat for digestion
• C. Elimination of waste product
• D. Regulation of process of digestion

Answer 1

The correct option is B Emulsification of fat for digestion

Bile is concerned with emulsification of fat for digestion. It is a complex biological product that is produced in the liver and stored in the gallbladder for eventual release into the small intestine. It is rich in lipids, and also contains water, electrolytes, bile acids, phospholipids, cholesterol, and pigments. Once the bile is secreted into the small intestine and performs its function, the bile acids are reabsorbed in the terminal ileum, are returned to the liver and resecreted into bile.

So, the correct answer is option B.
