Which of the following organs are considered accessory organs?

  1. Liver, Spleen, Kidneys

  2. Gallbladder, Liver, Pancreas

  3. Lungs, Heart, Stomach

  4. Small Intestine, Large Intestine, Bladder

The correct answer is: Gallbladder, Liver, Pancreas

Accessory organs are those that aid in the digestive process but food does not physically pass through them. The liver, pancreas, and gallbladder all play a role in digestion by producing and secreting important enzymes and substances such as bile. The other options, while important organs in their own right, do not have a direct role in digestion and are not considered accessory organs. The lungs and heart are involved in the respiratory and circulatory systems, while the stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and bladder are all parts of the digestive tract.
