What is the gallbladder function?

Gallbladder function generally includes storage of bile, concentration of bile, release of bile, etc.

1. Storage of bile

Gallbladder main function is to store bile produced by the liver, and bile contains bilirubin, cholesterol, cholesterol salts and water components.

2. Concentration of bile

Gallbladder in the process of storing bile, will absorb water in bile, so that bile concentration process helps increase the concentration of cholesterol and cholesterol salts dissolved in bile, thus helping bile more effectively digest and absorb fat.

3. Release of bile

When food enters the small intestine, gallbladder will contract and release stored bile, can help digest and absorb fat in food, reduce the burden on the intestine.
