Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by identifying the primary function of bile in the digestive system. Bile aids in the digestion and absorption of fats.
Understand where bile is produced. Bile is produced by the liver.
Next, consider the role of the gallbladder. The gallbladder is responsible for storing and concentrating bile produced by the liver.
Recognize that the pancreas and stomach have different roles in digestion. The pancreas produces digestive enzymes and hormones, while the stomach is involved in the mechanical and chemical breakdown of food.
Conclude that the gallbladder is the organ where bile is stored and concentrated, differentiating it from the liver, pancreas, and stomach.
