The gallbladder is located in the right upper quadrant (RUQ) of the abdominal cavity.
This small, pear-shaped organ sits beneath the liver and serves to store bile, which is produced by the liver to help digest fats. Its position in the right upper quadrant means it is generally found alongside other vital organs, such as the liver and a part of the intestines.
Understanding the anatomy of the abdominal cavity, including the location of the gallbladder, is important for medical professionals when diagnosing and treating issues related to gallstones, inflammation, or other gallbladder-related conditions.
