Digestive System Part 2 Worksheet 1. The ________ is a large organ in the abdominal cavity. Its primary contribution to digestion is the production of ________. Also called gall, it's a bitter, yellow or green alkaline fluid , some of which drains directly into the duodenum (top part of the small intestine), and some is stored in the gallbladder. Half the bile enters the small intestine through the ________ duct, the other half is diverted through the cystic duct to be stored in the ________. 2. Bile has several major components: A. ________, a fat naturally manufactured in the liver. B. Bile Acids or ________, which break down large globules of fat into tiny droplets that can be more easily digested. C. A pigment called ________ is created as a byproduct when the liver breaks down the ________ in used red blood cells. This pigment gives the feces their characteristic brown color. D. Bile "breaks down" or ________ fat, so is important in the ________ absorption of the fat soluble vitamins D, E, K, and A. 3. List four functions of the liver: 4. The ________ is a long, irregularly shaped gland organ lying behind the ________ stomach. It has both endocrine and ________ function. The acini cells are part of the exocrine function and secrete enzymes and ________.
