Your gallbladder is more than a storage pouch. 🧬
The liver produces bile, while the gallbladder stores and concentrates it by absorbing water and electrolytes through its lining. This process helps prepare bile for its role in digesting and absorbing dietary fats.
When a meal reaches the small intestine, the hormone cholecystokinin (CCK) stimulates gallbladder contraction and helps bile enter the duodenum.
