Q. Study thoroughly the following statement and identify which of the following is/are correct and incorrect? I. Bile salt present in bile is responsible to emulsify the fats in small intestine II. Bicarbonates of sodium, potassium, glycocholate and faurocholate of sodium are bile salts III. The pH of hepatic bile is 8.6, while pH of gall bladder is 7.6 or 7.5 IV. The flow of bile from liver takes place through hepatic duct, common bile duct, -hepatopancreatic ampulla and finally to the first part of small intestine V. Gall bladder in rat and horse does not store bile Choose the correct option
A) I, III and IV are incorrect, while II and V are correct
B) Al statement are correct
C) Statement II and V are incorrect while, I, III and IV are correct
D) All statement are incorrect
Explanation
Bile is secreted by hepatic cells. It passes through hepatic ducts and then stored and concentrated in a thin muscular sac. Gall bladder the pH of hepatic bile is 8.6, while the pH of gall bladder is 7.6 or 7.5 The salts present in bile juice are responsible for emulsification of fats in small intestine. These salts are mainly, salts of taurocholic acid and glycocholic acid. Horse and rats donot have gall bladder
