It is a small sac-like elongated organ near the liver. The excess bile juice is stored in the gall bladder. It is connected to the liver by a duct called the cystic duct. If there is no food in the intestine, the bile juice flows into the gall bladder and is stored there. It is pumped out by the muscular contraction of the gall bladder wall when the food comes into the small intestine. The cystic duct opens into the common bile duct which opens into the small intestine.
