Answer

-

a. gall bladder. Your gall bladder is a storage vessel for bile, the fluid produced by the liver to break down fats in your diet. Bile collects in the gall bladder then is released into the intestines after you eat a large meal. Horses, however, are designed to feed continuous­ly throughout the day rather than in distinct large meals, so they have no need to store bile. Instead, it trickles continuous­ly from the liver.
