The gallbladder is an organ that\u2019s found in your abdomen. Its function is to store bile until it\u2019s needed for digestion. When we eat, the gallbladder contracts, or squeezes, to send bile into …<\/p>\n

The gallbladder’s absorbent lining concentrates the stored bile. When food enters the small intestine, a hormone called cholecystokinin is released, signaling the gallbladder to contract and secrete bile into the small intestine through the common bile duct. The bile helps the digestive process by breaking up fats.<\/p>\n
