Gallbladder

The gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped organ located under the liver. Its main function is to store and concentrate bile, a digestive fluid produced by the liver that helps break down fats. When you eat fatty foods, the gallbladder releases bile into the small intestine to aid digestion. It works as part of the digestive system, ensuring fats are properly broken down and absorbed. Sometimes, gallstones or other issues can cause problems, leading to pain or digestive discomfort. Overall, the gallbladder plays a vital role in efficiently processing dietary fats.
