How would digestion of food be affected if the bile duct is completely blocked? Explain.
Answers
Answer:
After a meal, it is released into the small intestine. When the bile ducts become blocked, bile builds up in the liver, and jaundice (yellow color of the skin) develops due to the increasing level of bilirubin in the blood. The possible causes of a blocked bile duct include: Cysts of the common bile duct

Hm.... if the bile duct is affected , the enzymes from pancreas and liver won't reach the small intestine.
Then the fats and proteins can't be digested completely and the fats and proteins in our food gets wasted and remains undigested.
The undigested nutrients gets egested or removed out by excretion.
Sometimes it may lead to jaundice,because due to bile duct problem, bilirubin increase and it enters the blood stream, as spreading yellow colour in the blood.
