Gall Bladder

 Bile is a digestive fluid that helps break down fats into smaller droplets (emulsification). Bile is produced by the liver.The gallbladder’s main function is to store and concentrate bile until it’s needed for digestion. When fatty food enters the small intestine, the hormone cholecystokinin (CCK) signals the gallbladder to contract and release bile into the duodenum (first part of the small intestine).
