Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by identifying the accessory organs of the digestive system listed in the problem: Gallbladder, Liver, Salivary glands, and Pancreas.
Understand the function of each organ: The liver produces bile, the salivary glands produce saliva containing enzymes, and the pancreas produces digestive enzymes.
Recognize that the gallbladder's primary function is to store and concentrate bile produced by the liver, but it does not produce any enzymes or digestive secretions itself.
Compare the functions of the gallbladder with the other organs listed to confirm that it is the only organ that does not produce enzymes or digestive secretions.
Conclude that the gallbladder is the accessory organ of the digestive system that does not produce any enzymes or digestive secretions.
