Q. Which part of alimentary canal receives bile from the liver ?

Correct Answer: c) Small intestine

Explanation:

The small intestine, specifically the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine), receives bile from the liver. Here’s how it works:

– The liver produces bile, which is stored in the gallbladder.

– When food enters the small intestine, the gallbladder releases bile through the bile duct into the duodenum.

– Bile helps in the digestion and absorption of fats by emulsifying them, making it easier for enzymes like lipase to break them down.

The other options are incorrect:

– a) Stomach: The stomach does not receive bile; it primarily secretes gastric juices for protein digestion.

– b) Oesophagus: The oesophagus is a passage for food and does not play a role in digestion or bile secretion.

– d) Large intestine: The large intestine is involved in water absorption and does not receive bile.
