Gallstones
|
Gall bladder is a hollow, pear-shaped organ. It is located on the right upper part of the abdomen, just beneath the liver. The function of the gall bladder is to store bile made by the liver. Bile is a digestive juice that helps the body digest fats. Bile flows from the liver into the gall bladder, where it is stored. During a meal, the gall bladder contracts and squeezes bile into the intestine.
