Gall Bladder Vector Medical Content

The gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped organ located beneath the liver on the right side of the abdomen. It plays a key role in the digestive process by storing and concentrating bile, a digestive enzyme produced by the liver. Bile helps in the digestion of fats and the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins in the small intestine.

Functions of the Gallbladder:

1. Bile Storage: The gallbladder stores bile produced by the liver between meals.
2. Bile Concentration: The gallbladder concentrates the bile by absorbing water and electrolytes.
3. Bile Release: When food, especially fatty food, enters the small intestine, the gallbladder contracts and releases bile through the bile ducts into the small intestine to aid digestion.
