Vikki and microvilli are important structures because they
Increase the amount of digested food that can be absorbed
27
The ducts that connect the liver, gallbladder and duodenum are called the
Biliary tree
28
The gallbladder
Stores and concentrates bile
29
Bike canaliciluli
Located in the liver, receive bile from the liver lobules and discharges the bile into the hepatic ducts
30
The fat in the duodenum stimulates the release of
Cholecystokinin
31
