What Does GB Stand For?
GB stands for Gallbladder
GB, or Gallbladder, is a small, pear-shaped organ located beneath the liver that plays a crucial role in the digestive system. Its primary function is to store and concentrate bile, a digestive fluid produced by the liver, which aids in the digestion and absorption of fats in the small intestine. The gallbladder releases bile into the digestive tract in response to food intake, particularly fatty foods, ensuring efficient digestion. Disorders of the gallbladder can lead to various health issues, including gallstones and inflammation.
