question 11
which of the following statements about the gallbladder is true?
a it makes bile.
b it secretes digestive enzymes into the stomach.
c it is located at the pharynx.
d it stores bile and releases it into the small intestine.

Explanation:

The gallbladder's main function is to store bile produced by the liver and release it into the small intestine when needed for digestion. The liver makes bile (not the gallbladder - eliminating option A). Digestive enzymes in the stomach are mainly from the stomach lining and pancreas (not gallbladder - eliminating B). The gallbladder is not located at the pharynx (eliminating C).

Answer:

D. It stores bile and releases it into the small intestine.
