The gallbladder is considered a non-vital organ because it is not essential for survival. Its primary function is to store and concentrate bile produced by the liver, which aids in the digestion of fats. However, the body can still function adequately without it; if the gallbladder is removed (a procedure known as cholecystectomy), bile continues to flow directly from the liver to the small intestine, allowing digestion to occur, albeit sometimes less efficiently.
