Question

Which part of alimentary canal receives bile from the liver?

• A. Stomach
• B. Small intestine
• C. Large intestine
• D. Oesophagus

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Small intestine

The correct option is B.
Explanation for the correct option:

1. The organs that food and liquids pass through on their way to being ingested, broken down, absorbed, and expelled as feces.
2. Among these organs are the mouth, pharynx (throat), esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, and anus.
3. The liver produces and secretes a fluid called bile, which is then kept in the gallbladder for later use.
4. Digestion is aided by bile.
5. It transforms lipids into fatty acids that the digestive system can absorb and use as fuel.
6. Our small intestine, which makes up the majority of our alimentary canal, is divided into three sections: the jejunum, the duodenum, and the ileum.
7. Our liver sends bile to your small intestine.
8. This bile is then retained in the gallbladder, where it performs two distinct tasks: it alkalizes the food and breaks down its fat content.
9. In addition to absorbing the partially digested food, the small intestine's duodenum also absorbs digestive juices from the liver, pancreas, and its own cells.

Final answer: Small intestine is part of the alimentary canal that receives bile from the liver.
