Question

Which process can be primarily affected by gallbladder disease? A. carbohydrate digestion B. fat digestion C. protein digestion D. vitamin digestion

Answer 1

The answer is B. Fat Digestion

The gall bladder stores the bile produced from the liver. Bile is used to emulsify fats i.e physical digestion of fats. If bile can't be stored, when needed, it's not available.

Answer 2

B. Fat digestion can be primarily affected by gallbladder disease.

Gall bladder:

• Bile aids in the digestion of lipids in the small intestine.
• The majority of gallbladder illnesses are caused by inflammation, which causes irritation of the gallbladder walls, which is known as cholecystitis.
• Gallstones frequently cause this irritation by obstructing the ducts leading to the small intestine and causing bile to build up.
• Gallstones, which can impede the passage of bile via the bile ducts and cause inflammation and discomfort, are the most common cause of gallbladder illness.
• Gallbladder removal surgery is used to treat the majority of gallbladder disorders.
• When we consume fatty meals, the gallbladder constricts and forces bile via the bile duct.
• In the small intestine, bile is combined with semi-digested food.
• Bile is mostly water, but it also contains bile salts, cholesterol, some lipids (lecithin), and bile pigments.
