Detailed explanation-1: -The gallbladder stores and concentrates bile from the liver. The bile is then released into the first section of the small intestine (the duodenum), where it helps your body to break down and absorb fats from food.
Detailed explanation-2: -It is a muscular organ that contracts when bile is needed, and forces the enzyme through the cystic duct. There are three main parts of the gallbladder: fundus-the large end that stores bile juices.
Detailed explanation-3: -When the liver cells secrete bile, it is collected by a system of ducts that flow from the liver through the right and left hepatic ducts. These ducts ultimately drain into the common hepatic duct. The common hepatic duct then joins with the cystic duct from the gallbladder to form the common bile duct.
