While the gallbladder may appear to be functioning in chemical digestion because it produces a chemical, in reality this chemical functions as part of mechanical digestion. Bile produced by the gallbladder emulsifies fats. This means that it breaks the fat particles into smaller particles without changing their chemical nature.

Food does not ever enter the gallbladder to be digested in any way, however, the gall bladder excretes bile into the small intestine to aid in digestion. Therefore, the gall bladder is only involved in chemical digestion.

Food never enters the gallbladder to be digested in any way. However, when fatty food is eaten the gall bladder is stimulated to excrete the bile stored (originally produced in the liver) into the duodenum to aid in digestion. Therefore, the gall bladder is only involved in chemical digestion.
