It is similar to the function of the gall bladder of a human. They both are used to store the bile, a digestive juice, that is created by the liver. When needed for digestion, the gall bladder secretes a small amount to aid in the breaking down of the food (specifically the emulsification of fats).

Why is gallbladder hard to find in a frog?
The gallbladder is hard to find in a frog because it is located behind the liver and the lungs, more near the dorsal side of the frog making it hard for us to find it viewing it from the ventral side of the frog.
Where is bile temporarily stored between meals?
It used to be secreted by the liver and stored in the gallbladder. If you lose your gallbladder, then the bile is not stored anywhere anymore, but dripped directly from the liver to the bile duct, to the small intestine.
How big is a frogs gallbladder?
The size of the frog's stomach depends on how big the frog is. Bigger frogs tend to have bigger stomachs.
Do lions have a gallbladder?
Yes, lions have a gallbladder. The gallbladder is an organ that stores bile produced by the liver, which helps in the digestion of fats.
What happened to the duct from the gallbladder on a pig?
In pigs, the duct from the gallbladder is called the cystic duct, which merges with the common hepatic duct to form the common bile duct. This common bile duct then carries bile from the liver and gallbladder to the duodenum for digestion.
