The gallbladder is shaped like a pear, with its tip opening into the cystic duct. The gallbladder is divided into three sections: the "fundus", "body", and "neck". The "fundus" is the rounded base, angled so that it faces the abdominal wall. The "body" lies in a depression in the surface of the lower liver. The "neck" tapers and is continuous with the cystic duct, part of the biliary tree. The gallbladder fossa, against which the fundus and body of the gallbladder lie, is found beneath the junction of hepatic segments IVB and V. The cystic duct unites with the common hepatic duct to become the common bile duct. At the junction of the neck of the gallbladder and the cystic duct, there is an out-pouching of the gallbladder wall forming a mucosal fold known as "Hartmann's pouch".
