Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bile is produced in the liver and stored in the gallbladder until it is needed to emulsify (break down) fats in the small intestine. The pancreas produces digestive enzymes and releases them into the small intestine, but it does not store bile. The appendix is a small pouch at the beginning of the large intestine and does not play a role in bile production or secretion. The rectum is the lower part of the large intestine and is involved in the elimination of waste, but not in digestion or bile production.
