| gallbladder |
The organ which stores bile. Bile is made in the liver. The gallbladder is connected to the liver by the bile ducts. Upon eating, the body secretes cholecystokinin. This hormone stimulates the gallbladder to contract and eject the bile into the bile ducts. Bile enters the small intestine where it is used for absorption of fat.
