Question

A doctor diagnosed the improper digestion of fat in the body of a patient. According to the doctor, the organ that secretes bile has been damaged due to consumption of excessive alcohol by the patient. Which organ of the patient has been damaged?

Answer 1

Answer:

The liver of the patient has been damaged.  

Explanation:

• As given in the question, the organ which secretes bile has been damaged due to the consumption of excessive alcohol by the patient.

• It is the liver that is responsible for bile acid production and secretion into bile and released into the intestine.

• The majority of these bile acids get reabsorbed in the ileum and the liver removes the maximum during one passage.

• Bile secreted from the hepatic cells in the digestive gland helps in the absorption of fat.

• ASH or Alcohol-related Steatohepatitis is an alcohol-related liver disease where fat accumulates inside the liver and the liver fails to function properly.

Hence the correct answer is Liver.
