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 function of the gallbladder is to store and concentrate bile secreted by the liver. When fatty foods enter the duodenum, a hormone (CCK) is released that stimulates the gallbladder to contract sending the concentrated bile down into the duodenum.
It holds bile made by the liver. The bile helps fat in the digestion system to be digested. It causes the fat to become emulsified by increasing the surface area so that lipases can break the fat down.
Controls the amount of fat used and storeded in the body.
The gallbladder stores and concentrates bile, and then releases it into the duodenum to help absorb and digest fats.
Yes, bile is a substance that aids the digestive process of food that has entered the small intestine. Specifically bile aids in the digestion of lipids (fats).
It provides the bile which is needed for efficient digestion (although one can live without a gallbladder).
It stores and concetrates bile
It releases bile which emulsifies fat.
the stomach and the pancreas
Chemical digestion
it is digestion trololo
humans.external digestion = cooking
Because most of our food sources are composed of foods that have large molecules, it is the job of the digestive system to break down these large particles into molecules that are small enough to diffuse through our cell membranes.
No
yes they do!!
Bile.
Pigeons do not have gallbladders. Usually only meat-eating animals will have gallbladders. Pigeons do have many other specialized organs, however.
It is the first step in the digestion system. It uses chemical digestion by using the sylivia to brake down food and uses mechanical digestion by using the teeth to do the exact same job.

only one
Chloroplast
To start the process of physical digestion.
To absorb nutrients and eliminate waste
All water helps in digestion. Distilled or purified water will do the job with fewer or no trace elements.
One of my friends is a retired doctor, and he said that Passover is the time of year for the removal of gallbladders. Something in the Passover diet "wrecks" gallbladders in some people, but I haven't found out what and why.
