Is gallbladder a digestive gland?

The gallbladder is not a digestive gland. The

gallbladder is a pear-shaped pouch under the liver. Its main function is to concentrate and store bile. When the human body is hungry, bile is stored in the gallbladder. When it needs digestion, bile can be discharged through the gallbladder. In addition, the gallbladder can also buffer the pressure on the bile duct, prevent bile damage to the bile duct, and also help the body digest fatty foods, but not digestive glands.

Patients can usually eat more light and digestible foods such as carrots and vegetables, and eat less greasy foods such as fat and pork oil, so as not to affect the function of the gallbladder.
