O Levels Biology (5090)•5090/11/M/J/18

Explanation
Bile enters the duodenum for fat digestion
Steps:
- Bile is produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder.
- It travels through the common bile duct to reach the small intestine.
- The duct joins the pancreatic duct at the sphincter of Oddi.
- This junction opens into the duodenum, the first part of the small intestine.
Why B is correct:
- The duodenum receives bile directly from the common bile duct, as defined in digestive anatomy, to emulsify fats for absorption.
Why the others are wrong:
- A. Colon: Large intestine site for water absorption, not bile entry.
- C. Ileum: Distal small intestine section for nutrient absorption, but bile enters proximally.
- D. Stomach: Site for initial food breakdown by acid, before bile's role.
Final answer: B
