Question

Scott is experiencing gallstones. The gallstones have caused cholecystitis (inflammation of his gallbladder). Scott’s condition affects which body system?

Answer 1

The condition affects the Biliary System.

Answer 2

Digestive system

Step-by-step explanation:

The function of the gall bladder is to store the bile juice and release it into the small intestine when the food arrives in the small intestine. The bile juice facilitates the digestion of lipids through emulsification. Inflammation of Scott's gall bladder would affect the storage and release of bile juice into the small intestine.

Due to the shortage of bile juice or in its complete absence, digestion of lipids would be adversely affected.
