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)
The gallbladder of a fetal pig is green because it is stained with bile. The gallbladder is a small, tear-shaped organ.
The pigs lungs are located in the chest cavity. They are on both sides of the body and they feel spongy.
The function of the liver is the remove toxins and metabolic wastes from the body. Fetal pigs have large livers because this function is important early on in life.
In a fetal pig, the gallbladder serves as a storage organ for bile produced by the liver. Bile is released from the gallbladder into the small intestine to aid in the digestion and absorption of fats.
Certain abdominal organs are not involved in the digestive process. In fetal pigs, these organs include the liver and the kidneys.
salivary gland, liver, gallbladder, pancreas
Some organs found in the fetal pig's abdominal cavity include the liver, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, spleen, and pancreas. Additionally, the fetal pig's abdominal cavity contains the gallbladder, kidneys, and urinary bladder.
Bile is produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder.
The appearance of a fetal pig gallbladder is usually dark colored. It is used to process liquid waste materials from feeding.
The liver produces bile, which is stored in the gallbladder. When needed, the gallbladder releases bile into the small intestine to help with the digestion and absorption of fats. The gallbladder acts as a reservoir for bile produced by the liver.
The closest organ to the liver is the gallbladder. The gallbladder is located under the liver and is connected to the liver by the common bile duct, which carries bile produced by the liver to the gallbladder for storage.
The shape of a fetal pigs kidney is oval. -knowing this from just doing fetal pig exam
