About the gallbladder. The gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped organ under the liver. Both the liver and the gallbladder are behind the right lower ribs. In adults, the gallbladder is usually about 3 to 4 inches long and normally no wider than an inch.The gallbladder concentrates and stores bile, a fluid made in the liver.Bile helps digest the fats in foods as they pass through the small intestine. Bile is either released from the liver directly into ducts that carry it to the small intestine, or is stored in the gallbladder and released later.When food (especially fatty food) is being digested, the gallbladder contracts and releases bile through a small tube called the cystic duct.bout the gallbladder.
