The gallbladder stores and releases bile, a digestive juice produced by the liver. Bile contains bile salts, which aid in the emulsification and digestion of fats in the small intestine. When fatty foods enter the digestive tract, the gallbladder contracts, releasing bile into the duodenum to facilitate digestion.
