Yes, the uterus is an intraperitoneal organ. It lies within the peritoneal cavity, which is the space in the abdomen that is lined by a membrane called the peritoneum.
Intraperitoneal
An intraperitoneal organ is an organ that is located within the peritoneal cavity, the space within the abdomen that contains organs such as the liver, stomach, and intestines. These organs are covered by a membrane called the peritoneum, which helps support and protect them. Examples of intraperitoneal organs include the liver, spleen, and most of the intestines.

Ovaries are the only part of the reproductive system that are intraperitoneal.
Intraperitoneal (IP) dosing is the injection of a substance into the peritoneun (body cavity).
No, the cecum is a part of the large intestine and is considered retroperitoneal, meaning it lies outside the peritoneal cavity and is only partially covered by peritoneum.
No, the pancreas is a retroperitoneal organ.
The spleen is located in the upper left side of the abdomen, in the intraperitoneal space. It is partially covered by the greater omentum and is surrounded by peritoneum, which helps to support and protect the organ. However, unlike other intraperitoneal organs, the spleen is not suspended by a mesentery.
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 glandsAorta & Inferior Vena CavaDuodenum (to a great extent, yes)PancreasUretersColon (ascending, descending)KidneysEsophagus (partly)RectumCheers,Ali,Sakkiretroperitoneal
NO, The liver is an intraperitoneal organ.
The peritoneum ( /ˌpɛrɨtənˈiəm/) is the serous membrane that forms the lining of the abdominal cavity or the coelom-it covers most of the intra-abdominal (or coelomic) organs-inamniotes and some invertebrates (annelids, for instance). It is composed of a layer of mesothelium supported by a thin layer of connective tissue. The peritoneum both supports the abdominal organs and serves as a conduit for their blood and lymph vessels and nerves.The abdominal cavity (the space bounded by the vertebrae, abdominal muscles, diaphragm and pelvic floor) should not be confused with the intraperitoneal space (located within the abdominal cavity, but wrapped in peritoneum). The structures within the intraperitoneal space are called "intraperitoneal" (e.g. the stomach), the structures in the abdominal cavity that are located behind the intraperitoneal space are called "retroperitoneal" (e.g. the kidneys), and those structures below the intraperitoneal space are called "subperitoneal" or "infraperitoneal" (e.g. the bladder).
