The gallbladder is located in the right upper abdomen of the human body.
The gallbladder is located in the right upper abdomen, near the lower edge of the liver. It is shaped like a pear-shaped sac. When the liver secretes bile, the bile will enter the gallbladder through the hepatic duct and cystic duct, and be stored and concentrated in the gallbladder. When the human body eats, the nerve tissue will stimulate the gallbladder tissue, prompting the gallbladder to discharge bile to the duodenum to help digest food. If long-term improper diet, may induce gallstones, cholecystitis, etc., leading to severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms.
