gallbladders

Liver's storage pouches

Gallbladders is the plural of gallbladder, the small organ beneath the liver that stores bile for digestion.

The word appears most often in medical contexts: Gallbladders are commonly removed when gallstones cause problems.

Like many internal organs, it rarely needs pluralizing outside anatomy discussions.
