How gall bladder is used in digestion?

The liver makes a powerful digestive juice called bile. It passes to the gallbladder which concentrates and stores it for later use. Bile helps break down the food we eat.

Bile’s most important role is, breaking down fats. Carbohydrates and proteins tend to break down more easily. Fats need more chemical interaction in order to be changed into energy.

When we digest fatty food, the gallbladder releases bile. This digestive juice, then, passes down a narrow tube (the cystic duct). It goes straight into the first section of the small intestine, just underneath stomach (the duodenum). There, the strong chemicals go to work. They break down fatty bits into a liquid form that we can digest food.
