GALLBLADDER SURGERY RECOVERY DIET

gallbladder

a muscular sac attached to the liver that stores bile (secreted by the liver) until it is needed for digestion
The small sac-shaped organ beneath the liver, in which bile is stored after secretion by the liver and before release into the intestine
In vertebrates the gallbladder (cholecyst, gall bladder) is a small organ that aids digestion and stores bile produced by the liver. In humans the loss of the gallbladder is usually easily tolerated.
Distinct from the Western medical concept of gallbladder, the concept of the Gallbladder (Dan) in Traditional Chinese Medicine is more a way of describing a set of interrelated parts than an anatomical organ. (See Zang Fu theory.)
