The gallbladder is a small organ in vertebrates where bile is stored before being released into the small intestine. Humans can actually live without a gallbladder.
Under the
microscope, layers of the gallbladder wall can be viewed. The gallbladder walls' innermost surface is lined with a single layer of columnar cells. The primary function of the gallbladder is to store bile, which is produced by the liver.
