The gallbladder is intraperitoneal. its fundus is only intraperitoneal while body and neck are extraperitoneal. Retroperitoneal organs are held against the posterior abdominal wall with a layer och parietal peritoneum. This is not the case for the gallbladder, which is suspended to the liver in the gallbladder fossa by visceral peritoneum.
A mnemonic may be used for the retroperitoneal organs in the abdominal cavity.
Suprarenal glands
Aorta & Inferior Vena Cava
Duodenum (to a great extent, yes)
Pancreas
Ureters
Colon (ascending, descending)
Kidneys
Esophagus (partly)
Rectum
