Gallbladder anatomy & function🤔 | Easy learning video
Summary
TLDRThe video explains the role of the gallbladder, a small green pouch located under the liver. It highlights the gallbladder's function in storing bile, a fluid produced by the liver that aids in digestion by breaking down fats into fatty acids for absorption in the small intestine. Additionally, bile plays a vital role in protecting the body by destroying bacteria and helping to combat infections. This overview emphasizes the importance of the gallbladder in digestive health and immune defense.
