The gallbladder is connected to the liver. The liver creates bile which helps in the digestion of fats. The bile is stored in the gallbladder and then the gallbladder excretes it through the common bile duct, into the duodenum (small intestine) where it is put to use. During the storage of the bile, it becomes more concentrated.
In humans, people can develop gallstones (similar to kidney stones in one's kidney) and results in the gallbladder being removed. People can live normally without the gallbladder as it is not an essential organ in the digestive system.
(Note** The digestive system of a pig is almost identical to that of a human)
