Question 18 • IASD Health Concepts, Q2, 25-26, Cadile

Dominic is having issues with the accessory organ that empties bile into the small intestine. Which organ would his doctor most likely reference in his chart?

Answer
A
the esophagus
B
the gallbladder
C
the gastroesophageal sphincter
D
the pyloric sphincter

Explanation

The gallbladder stores bile made by the liver and releases it into the small intestine, specifically the duodenum. The esophagus carries food to the stomach, while the gastroesophageal and pyloric sphincters regulate passage between parts of the digestive tract. Therefore, the chart would most likely refer to the gallbladder.
