Answer 1

The correct answer is- Digestive

Step-by-step explanation:

Gall bladder is the part of the digestive system and it collects, store, and concentrate digestive juice called bile which is produced by the liver.

The bile juice is then secreted by the gall bladder into the duodenum part of the small intestine through the common bile duct. In the small intestine, it is used to breakdown the fat.

Therefore if bile gets trapped in gall bladder due to gall stone it can cause cholecystitis which will affect the digestive system of the body because the digestive juice then will not be able to pass in intestine comfortably and digestion will not complete.

Answer 2

Cholecystitis is the redness and swelling of the gallbladder which happens when a digestive juice called bile gets trapped in the gallbladder. Normally, the bile would flow continuously towards the small intestine. The most affected organ is the gallbladder in this case which is located in the digestive system.
