Gallbladder Anatomy Explained: Bile, Function & Bile Ducts | Anatomy & Physiology

3-Second Blueprint (English)

1. Synthesize bile in the liver to emulsify large dietary fat globules into fine droplets, expanding surface area for enzymatic lipid digestion.
2. Drain hepatic bile via left and right hepatic ducts into the common hepatic duct, diverting half through the cystic duct to the gallbladder.
3. Concentrate stored bile inside the gallbladder while routing the rest down the common bile duct and pancreatic junction into the duodenum.
