Where is bile stored?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: C. Gall bladder

  1. Step 1: Bile is an alkaline digestive fluid containing bile salts, cholesterol, and bilirubin required for the emulsification of dietary lipids.
  2. Step 2: While bile is continuously synthesized and secreted by hepatocytes in the liver, it travels via the biliary tree to be stored and concentrated in the gall bladder until cholecystokinin triggers its release into the duodenum.
Answer
Gall bladder.
Why not the others: 'Liver' is the site of bile synthesis and secretion, not storage; 'Pancreas' produces and secretes pancreatic digestive enzymes and bicarbonate; 'Stomach' secretes hydrochloric acid and gastric juices for chyme production.
