All About the Gall Bladder

Gall bladder is a small organ thatPandemic Survival Reviewhelps in the digestive process and concentrates bile produced in the liver. The gallbladder is a pear shaped hollow organ that is situated in the concavity of the liver, which is called as gallbladder fossa. In adults, the measurement of gall bladder is about 8 cm long and 4 cm in width when completely dilated. This organ is divided into three main parts: fundus, body, and neck. The neck connects with the biliary tree through cystic duct, which again connect with common hepatic duct and forms common bile duct.

Anatomy.The gall bladder contains lining of simple columnar epithelial called Aschoff's recesses, which is nothing but a small pouch in the lining. A small layer of connective tissue is present over the epithelial layer. On top of the connective tissue, wall of smooth muscle is present, which shrinks responding to cholecystokinin, a peptide hormone that is secreted by duodenum. A thin layer of muscular tissue separates the connective tissue from the adventitia and serosa to prevent any kind of infection.

Function;The main function of the gall bladder is to concentrate bile. Bile is nothing but a digestive liquid that is secreted by the liver. The primary function of bile is to emulsify fats and neutralize acids in the partly digested foods. The adult bladder stores approximately 50 milliliters of bile. Bile is secreted when food that contains fat enters the digestive tract and stimulated by cholecystokinin secretion. After getting stored in the gall bladder, the bile gets more concentrated, and thus increases it potency and effects on fats.
