Also known as gall bladder, biliary vesicle, cholecyst, Gall bladder

In vertebrates, the gallbladder, also known as the cholecyst, is a small hollow organ where bile is stored and concentrated before it is released into the small intestine. In humans, the pear-shaped gallbladder lies beneath the liver, although the structure and position of the gallbladder can vary significantly among animal species. It receives bile, produced by the liver, via the common hepatic duct, and stores it. The bile is then released via the common bile duct into the duodenum, where the bile helps in the digestion of fats.

AI overview

Your gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped organ tucked beneath your liver that stores and concentrates bile, a digestive fluid made by your liver. When you eat, your gallbladder releases this bile into your small intestine to help break down fats.
