What is the small sac attached to the underside of the liver and stores bile called?

Pancreas
Gallbladder
Spleen
Appendix

The correct answer is: Gallbladder

The pancreas is a gland that produces digestive enzymes, insulin, and glucagon. It is not attached to the underside of the liver and does not store bile. The spleen is an organ that helps filter blood and plays a role in the immune system, it is not attached to the liver or involved in bile storage. The appendix is a small pouch attached to the large intestine, it does not play a role in bile storage or have any connection to the liver. Therefore, the correct answer is the gallbladder, which is a small sac attached to the underside of the liver and stores bile. Bile is a fluid that helps with digestion and is produced by the liver, but it is stored and concentrated in the gallbladder before being released into the small intestine.
