Located underneath the liver, the gallbladder is a pouch. Bile made by the liver is stored and concentrated there. The digestive system contains your gallbladder. Bile storage is its principal job. Bile aids in the digestion of fats by the body. Cholesterol, bilirubin, and bile salts are the primary components of bile.


Bile is stored in your gallbladder before you begin to consume. Your gallbladder receives signals when you begin eating, causing it to constrict and force the stored bile through the biliary canal. The common bile duct, your major bile duct, is where the bile ultimately ends up. In the duodenum, the first section of your small intestine, where food is ready to be digested, bile travels through the common bile duct. Your gallbladder is empty after eating and looks like a deflated balloon that has to be filled again.


Gallbladder disease can include gallbladder inflammation, infection, stones, or obstruction. Under the liver is where the gallbladder is housed. Bile generated in the liver is concentrated and stored there. When food is consumed, the gallbladder releases bile into the upper small intestine to aid in the digestion of fat (especially fats). Several gallbladder conditions include: Cholecystitis (inflammation of the gallbladder), Gallstones, Chronic acalculous gallbladder disease (in which the natural movements needed to empty the gallbladder do not work well),Gangrene or abscesses, Growths of tissue in the gallbladder, Congenital defects of the gallbladder, Sclerosing cholangitis, Tumors of the gallbladder and bile ducts
