Question 5 • Nursing Assistant - EL3610

Jan just ate a meal that was extremely high in fat. Which accessory organs of the digestive system would be activated for digesting the fat?

Answer
A
liver and appendix
B
small intestine and gallbladder
C
gallbladder and liver
D
appendix and small intestine

Explanation

The liver produces bile, which helps break large fat droplets into smaller ones, and the gallbladder stores and releases that bile into the small intestine after a fatty meal. The appendix does not play a role in digesting fat, so the correct choice is gallbladder and liver.
