It connects the liver to the umbilicus. It is the remnant of the left umbilical vein. The round ligament divides the left part of the liver into medial and lateral sections.
The liver is divided into four lobes. This image shows the large right lobe and a smaller left lobe separated by the falciform ligament. 1: Right lobe of liver 2: Left lobe of liver 3: Quadrate lobe of liver 4: Round ligament of liver 5: Falciform ligament 6: Caudate lobe of liver 7: Inferior vena cava 8: Common bile duct 9: Hepatic artery 10 ...
Falciform ligament can be seen separating the left medial from the right lateral lobes of liver. In human anatomy, the falciform ligament (from Latin ' sickle -shaped') is a ligament that attaches the liver to the front body wall and divides the liver into the left lobe and right lobe. [1] The falciform ligament is a broad and thin fold of ...
The common hepatic duct is an important anatomic landmark during surgeries such as cholecystectomy. It forms one edge of Calot's triangle, along with the cystic duct and the cystic artery. All constituents of this triangle must be identified to avoid cutting or clipping the wrong structure.
The liver, viewed from above, showing the left and right lobes separated by the falciform ligament. The liver is a dark reddish brown, wedge-shaped organ with two lobes of unequal size and shape. A human liver normally weighs approximately 1.5 kilograms (3.3 pounds) [11] and has a width of about 15 centimetres (6 inches). [12]
Round ligament pain (RLP) is pain associated with the round ligament of the uterus, usually during pregnancy. RLP is one of the most common discomforts of pregnancy [1] and usually starts at the second trimester of gestation and continues until delivery.

Jejunum. 21–22. Right and left kidneys. The front border of the liver has been lifted up (brown arrow). [1] The cystic duct is the duct that (typically) joins the gallbladder and the common hepatic duct; the union of the cystic duct and common hepatic duct forms the bile duct (formerly known as the common bile duct). Its length varies.
Left triangular ligament. The superior surface of the liver. The left triangular ligament is a large peritoneal fold. It connects the posterior part of the upper surface of the left lobe of the liver to the thoracic diaphragm.
