Leaving Certificate Digestion Practice Test

State one role of the gall bladder in digestion.

Releases bile Produces enzymes Filters blood Stores bile

Correct Answer:

Stores bile

Explanation:

The gall bladder’s job is to store and concentrate bile produced by the liver, keeping it until it’s needed for digestion. When you eat, especially fatty foods, the gall bladder releases that bile into the small intestine to help emulsify fats, making them easier for enzymes to digest. It doesn’t produce enzymes or filter blood—that’s handled by other organs—so storing bile fits best as its primary role.
