Gallbladder and bile ducts

The gallbladder is a pear-shaped organ located beneath the liver at the right upper quadrant of the abdomen. It stores and concentrates bile, which is secreted from the liver throughout the day. It contracts and empties the concentrated bile only when we eat. It contains a lot of excretory materials like cholesterol and bilirubin (Hemoglobin degradation by-product).
