Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The gallbladder is an exocrine gland that stores and concentrates bile, which is produced by the liver. Bile is released into the small intestine to aid in the digestion of fats. The gallbladder is not a mixed organ, does not lie adjacent to the inferior vena cava or protected by the round ligament, and is not attached to the liver by the falciform ligament.
