The ligamentum venosum, also known as Arantius' ligament, [1] is the fibrous remnant of the ductus venosus of the fetal circulation. Usually, it is attached to the left branch of the portal vein within the porta hepatis. It may be continuous with the round ligament of liver. It is invested by the peritoneal folds of the lesser omentum within a ...
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 ...
A ligament is the fibrous connective tissue that connects bones to other bones. It is also known as articular ligament, articular larua, [1] fibrous ligament, or true ligament. Other ligaments in the body include the: Peritoneal ligament: a fold of peritoneum or other membranes. Fetal remnant ligament: the remnants of a fetal tubular structure.
The ductus venosus (red) connects the umbilical vein to the inferior vena cava. The liver and the veins in connection with it, of a human embryo, twenty-four or twenty-five days old, as seen from the ventral surface. In the fetus, the ductus venosus (Arantius' duct after Julius Caesar Aranzi [1]) shunts a portion of umbilical vein blood flow ...
The peritoneum of the male pelvis. The lateral umbilical fold is an elevation (on either side of the body) of the peritoneum lining the inner/posterior surface of the lower anterior abdominal wall formed by the underlying inferior epigastric artery and inferior epigastric vein which the peritoneum covers. Superiorly, the lateral umbilical fold ...
The ductus arteriosus, also called the ductus Botalli, named after the Italian physiologist Leonardo Botallo, is a blood vessel in the developing fetus connecting the trunk of the pulmonary artery to the proximal descending aorta. It allows most of the blood from the right ventricle to bypass the fetus's fluid-filled non-functioning lungs.
It occupies the right hypochondrium, on its posterior surface by the ligamentum venosum for the cranial (upper) half and by the ligamentum teres hepatis (round ligament of liver) for the caudal (under) half. The ligamentum teres hepatis turns around the inferior margin of the liver to come out ventral in the falciform ligament.
5104. FMA. 14079. Anatomical terminology. [edit on Wikidata] The round ligament of the liver, ligamentum teres or ligamentum teres hepatis is a ligament that forms part of the free edge of the falciform ligament of the liver. It connects the liver to the umbilicus. It is the remnant of the left umbilical vein.
