The right lobe is functionally separated from the left lobe by the middle hepatic vein. From a functional perspective (one that takes the arterial, portal venous, and systemic venous anatomy into account) the falciform ligament separates the medial and lateral segments of the left hepatic lobe. [6] The right lobe is of a somewhat quadrilateral ...
It contains one or more hepatic veins which drain directly into the inferior vena cava (IVC). [1] The caudate lobe is a separate structure which receives blood flow from both the right- and left-sided vascular branches. [5] [6] The Caudate lobe includes: (1) the Spiegel lobe; (2) the paracaval portion; and (3) the caudate process portion.
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 ...
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). [3] The duct is about 3 cm long. [4]
Lobules of liver. The structure of the liver’s functional units or lobules. Blood enters the lobules through branches of the portal vein and hepatic artery proper, then flows through sinusoids. In histology (microscopic anatomy), the lobules of liver, or hepatic lobules, are small divisions of the liver defined at the microscopic scale.
Right and left kidneys. The front border of the liver has been lifted up (brown arrow). [1] Intrahepatic bile ducts compose the outflow system of exocrine bile product from the liver. They can be divided into: [2] Lobar ducts (right and left hepatic ducts) - stratified columnar epithelium. Interlobar ducts (between the main hepatic ducts and ...
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 biliary tract (also biliary tree or biliary system) refers to the liver, gallbladder and bile ducts, and how they work together to make, store and secrete bile. [ 1 ] Bile consists of water, electrolytes, bile acids, cholesterol, phospholipids and conjugated bilirubin. [ 2 ] Some components are synthesized by hepatocytes (liver cells); the ...
