Understanding the Gallbladder

This video from MooMooMath and Science explains the function of the gallbladder, a small organ that stores and concentrates bile before releasing it into the small intestine. Bile, produced by the liver, aids in digestion by breaking down fat clumps. The video also discusses the pathway of bile from the liver to the small intestine and addresses whether one can live without a gallbladder. It concludes with potential side effects of gallbladder removal, such as indigestion, and encourages viewers to subscribe for more educational content.
