Detailed explanation-2: -About 50% of the bile produced by the liver is first stored in the gallbladder. This is a pear-shaped organ located directly below the liver. Then, when food is eaten, the gallbladder contracts and releases stored bile into the duodenum to help break down the fats.

Detailed explanation-3: -The gallbladder is attached to the underside of the liver and stores bile, which helps us digest fats.
