Q
  1. What is the function of the gallbladder?
A

Q
  1. What specifically is the name of the area of the small intestine. In general, could the small intestine perform its function without the pancreas? Explain.
A

Duodenum of the small intestine. The pancreas produces enzymes that aid in chemical digestion. Without those enzymes, chemical digestion could not be completed so the the small intestine would be unable to absorb small nutrient molecules into the bloodstream.
