    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrate_ligament

    The quadrate ligament is a fibrous band attached to the inferior border of the radial notch on the ulna and to the neck of the radius. Its borders are strengthened by fibers from the upper border of the annular ligament. [1] The ligament is 11 mm (0.43 in) long, 8 mm (0.31 in) wide, and 1 mm (0.039 in) thick. [2]

  3. Lobes of liver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobes_of_liver

    The quadrate lobe is an area of the liver situated on the undersurface of the medial segment left lobe (Couinaud segment IVb), bounded in front by the anterior margin of the liver, behind by the porta hepatis, on the right by the fossa for the gall-bladder, and on the left by the fossa for the umbilical vein.

  4. Liver segment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liver_segment

    A liver segment is one of eight segments of the liver as described in the widely used Couinaud classification (named after Claude Couinaud) in the anatomy of the liver.This system divides the lobes of the liver into eight segments based on a transverse plane through the bifurcation of the main portal vein, [1] arranged in a clockwise manner starting from the caudate lobe.

  5. Porta hepatis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porta_hepatis

    The right vertical limb of the "H" defines the left and right functional lobes, while the left vertical limb of the "H" defines the right and left anatomical lobes. The horizontal line between the vertical limbs of the "H" represents the porta hepatis. The quadrate and caudate lobe lie superior and inferior to this line respectively.

  6. Lobules of liver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobules_of_liver

    In histology (microscopic anatomy), the lobules of liver, or hepatic lobules, are small divisions of the liver defined at the microscopic scale. The hepatic lobule is a building block of the liver tissue, consisting of a portal triad, hepatocytes arranged in linear cords between a capillary network, and a central vein.

  7. Liver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liver

    The liver is grossly divided into two parts when viewed from above – a right and a left lobe – and four parts when viewed from below (left, right, caudate, and quadrate lobes). [16] The falciform ligament makes a superficial division of the liver into a left and right lobe. From below, the two additional lobes are located between the right ...

  8. Common hepatic duct - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_hepatic_duct

    The common hepatic duct is the first part of the biliary tract. [2] It is formed by the union of the right hepatic duct (which drains bile from the right functional lobe of the liver) and the left hepatic duct (which drains bile from the left functional lobe of the liver).

  9. Bare area of the liver - Wikipedia

    [1] [2] It lies between the two layers of the coronary ligament, as well as the right triangular ligament. [1] The coronary ligament represents reflections of the visceral peritoneum covering the liver onto the diaphragm. [3] The bare area of the liver is attached to the thoracic diaphragm by loose connective tissue. [4]
