Where is the gallbladder located in the body

The gallbladder is located in the right upper abdomen of the human body, adjacent to the liver, duodenum, pylorus, right curvature of the colon, etc., and is divided into four parts: the base, the body, the neck and the duct. The gallbladder is a pear-shaped sac-like organ, 10-15 cm long, 3-5 cm wide, with a capacity of 40-60 ml, can store and concentrate bile. It borrows loose connective tissue attached to the liver surface of the gallbladder fossa. The gallbladder is flanked on the left by the pylorus of the stomach, on the right by the hepatic flexure of the colon, above by the liver, below and behind by the transverse colon as well as the duodenum, and in front by the anterior abdominal wall. The gallbladder is divided into four parts: the floor, body, neck, and duct. The body projection of the gallbladder floor corresponds to the intersection of the right costal arch and the outer edge of the rectus abdominis muscle. The body part is located between the fundus and the neck. The neck is curved and thin and is located deeper, and its beginning is enlarged to form the Hartmann’s bursa, in which most gallbladder stones are lodged. One end of the cystic duct joins the common hepatic duct to form the common bile duct and one end is attached to the neck of the gallbladder. Gallbladder disease should be considered when there is discomfort in the right upper abdomen, and patients should seek prompt medical attention and standardized treatment.
