Bile and stomach acid help digest food by destroying it, basically. Chewing food doesn't break food into small enough pieces to pass through the rest of the digestive system(eg. small intestine), so the stomach helps out by destroying the food with acid. All nutrients are conserved, but if you've ever had a chemical burn, that's kinda like what's happening to your food. The internal structure is destroyed. Too much is a problem; it can 'back-up' your esophagus causing heartburn. There are pills like Nexium which you can have your doctor proscribe if you have a problem with too much acid or injuries caused by the acid.

Gall bladder function?
The gallbladder functions to secrete cholecystokinin (CCK) when food enters the digestive tract. It also stores bile (which emulsifies fat to aid in digestion) and sends its contents to the duodenum.

No digestion occurs in the gallbladder, but the gall bladder can produce a greenish liquid called gall/bile, and that gall/bile flows into your small intestine to help digest food there. To be more specific, bile salts aid in the digestion of fats in the small intestine.
What relationship exists between bile and the gallbladder?
Bile is stored, not created, in the gall bladder before it is secreted into the duodenum to emulsify fats.No

Obstruction of the hepatopancreatic sphincter impairs digestion by reducing the availability of?

What does the gallbladder for digestion?
The Gall bladder stores bile. Bile is made by the liver. Bile is essential for the proper digestion of fats. If fats are not properly digested, fat soluble vitamins are also not absorbed.
Is bile and pancreatic juice both required for normal fat breakdown and digestion?
True!
What organ absorbs bile and pancreatic juice in digestion?
Bile and pancreatic juice are secreted into the small intestine through ducts. These chemicals assist in digestive processes in the small intestine.
The acid that aids digestion in the stomach is?
Enzymes, they are responsible in chemical digestion.
Chemical that breaks down fats into small droplets and helps neutralize stomach acids?
Bile juice does the digestion or emulsification of fats.
What is stored in the gallbladder of a frog?
It is similar to the function of the gall bladder of a human. They both are used to store the bile, a digestive juice, that is created by the liver. When needed for digestion, the gall bladder secretes a small amount to aid in the breaking down of the food (specifically the emulsification of fats).
