What type of digestion occurs in the gallbladder?
No digestion occurs in the gallbladder, but the gall bladder can produce a greenish liquid called gall/bile, and that gall/bile flows into your small intestine to help digest food there. To be more specific, bile salts aid in the digestion of fats in the small intestine.
When is the bile in the gallbladder needed?
during digestion
How does the gallbladder contribute to the process of digestion?
The gallbladder stores and releases bile, a fluid that helps break down fats in the small intestine during digestion.
What is the relationship between the liver and the gallbladder?

What are the four accessory organs of digestion?
salivary gland, liver, gallbladder, pancreas
What does the gallbladder make?
Bile, to help with fat digestion.
What occurs in the stomach although it is responsible for very little digestion?
Although the stomach is responsible for digestion, very little absorption happens in it. Instead, the stomach is more like a washing machine; it agitates foodstuffs. It stirs up ground up food (mechanical digestion from teeth / gums occurs in the mouth), with stomach acids in the stomach and bile salts from the gallbladder assisting in chemical digestion.
What secretion do the liver and gallbladder add to the pig's digestive tract?

What is the relationship between the liver and gallbladder in terms of their functions and how do they work together to aid in digestion and overall health?
The liver and gallbladder work together to aid in digestion and overall health. The liver produces bile, which is stored in the gallbladder.
