The repositoryof bile produced by the liver is one of the gallbladder's top priorities.
Bile is required to break down the body's fats and lipids, making it vital for digestion. In addition, it helps in the metabolism of bilirubin, which is produced when RBCs break down.
The gallbladder serves several essential purposes, including the following:
To store and purify bile
The ability to empty and restock its bile reserves in response to intestinal hormones like cholecystokinin.
To assist in controlling the bile's chemical makeup (the percentage of water, bile salts and more)
To regulate the small intestine's bile flow.
To contract (secreting bile into the biliary tract and duodenum)
