The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Gallbladder**: The gallbladder is a small organ located beneath the liver. Its primary role is to store bile, a digestive fluid produced by the liver. 2. **Function of Bile**: Bile is essential for digestion, particularly in the emulsification of fats. This means that bile breaks down large fat globules into smaller droplets, making it easier for enzymes to digest them. 3. **Production of Bile**: Bile is produced by the liver and then stored in the gallbladder until it is needed for digestion, particularly after eating fatty foods. 4. **Impact of Gallbladder Removal**: If the gallbladder is removed (a procedure known as cholecystectomy), the liver will still produce bile, but it will not be stored in the gallbladder. Instead, bile will flow directly from the liver into the small intestine. 5. **Conclusion**: The gallbladder's primary role in the human body is to store bile, which is crucial for the digestion of fats. While its removal may have some effects on digestion, the body can still function without it.
