The gall bladder stores and concentrates bile from the liver, and releases into the small intestine (duodenum) to further digest food there.

The gallbladder stores about 50ml of bile (1.7 US fluid ounces.), which is released when food containing fat enters the digestive tract, stimulating the secretion of cholecystokinin (CCK). The bile, produced in the liver, emulsifies (breaks down) fats and neutralizes acids in partly digested food.

After being stored in the gallbladder, the bile becomes more concentrated than when it left the liver, increasing its potency and intensifying its effect on fats. Most digestion occurs in the upper intestine, or, the duodenum, where the bile is released. Small sac that stores bile.

The gall bladder is a pouch that sits just under the liver and releases a liquid substance called ''bile'' up into the intestine through a series of tubes called ''ducts'' to help digest fat just before having a meal.
