Which of the following is CORRECT about bile pigment stones? 26 a.They refer to formation of gallstones in the gallbladder which are composed of cholesterolb.They are frequently asymptomatic, while increasing their size results in severe waves of pain in the upper right quadrant of the abdomen, radiating to the back and right shoulderc.Their causes include hypomotility of gallbladder and high cholesterol level in the biled.All answers are correcte.Their formation depends on conversion of conjugated bilirubin to unconjugated bilirubin in the gallbladder through B-glucuronidase

How is the gallbladder involved in digestion, even though it is considered an accessory organ? a. The gallbladder secretes bile to the duodenum, which uses it to break down proteins. It is considered an accessory organ because food does not directly pass through it. b. The gallbladder secretes bile to the duodenum, which uses it to break down fats. It is considered an accessory organ because food does not directly pass through it. c. The gallbladder secretes bile to the ileum, which uses it to break down fats. It is considered an accessory organ because food does not directly pass through it. d. The gallbladder secretes bile to the ileum, which uses it to break down proteins. It is considered an accessory organ because only a very small amount of digestion takes place in the gallbladder.
