Question
9 why might gallstones form? multiple choice - because the ph of the gallbladder becomes too alkaline because hepatic cells secrete too much hcl because the liver is lacerated because bile is too concentrated
Gallstones form when bile in the gallbladder becomes too concentrated. This can lead to the precipitation of substances like cholesterol or bilirubin, forming stones. The pH of the gallbladder being too alkaline is not a primary cause. Hepatic cells do not secrete HCl (stomach cells do). A lacerated liver is a physical injury and not related to gallstone formation.
