Describe the function and the actions of the gallbladder. Include the action of the substances produced by the gallbladder


When food enters the small intestine, the gallbladder is triggered by the hormone cholecystokinin (which is produced by intestinal mucosal glands when fats enter) to release bile. Bile is produced in the liver and stored in the gall bladder. Bile aids in digestion by emulsifying fat. This allows the body to absorb fat more easily.?
