Question

Hardened deposits of cholesterol that accumulate in the structure that stores bile are known as:_______ (1) gallstones (2) ulcers (3) goiters(4) allergies

Answer 1

Answer: option 1) gallstones

Step-by-step explanation:

Bile is derived from the degradation of Cholesterol, a vital component of cell membranes. This Cholesterol is produced in the Liver; so bile as well is produced in the Liver.

Once produced, bile is transported through the bile duct to the Gall bladder, where it is stored until when needed for fat digestion.

GALLSTONES, however, are composed of cholesterol, bile pigments and calcium salts.

Thus, gallstones is the answer.
