After the ductus venosus closes, its remnant is known as ligamentum venosum. If the ductus venosus fails to occlude after birth, it remains patent (open), and the individual is said to have a patent ductus venosus and thus an intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (PSS). [4] This condition is hereditary in some dog breeds (e.g. Irish Wolfhound).
The ligamentum venosum courses along the visceral/posterior aspect of the liver in the fossa for ductus venosum, which separates the caudate lobe and the left lobe. Fetal circulation. The ductus venosus (red), which becomes the ligamentum venosum , connects the umbilical vein to the inferior vena cava .
The caudate lobe of the liver is bounded below by the porta hepatis, on the right by the fossa for the inferior vena cava, and on the left by the fossa for the ductus venosus and the physiological division of the liver, called the ligamentum venosum. It looks backward, being nearly vertical in position; it is longer from above downward than ...
The falciform ligament can become canalized if an individual is suffering from portal hypertension.Due to the increase in venous congestion, blood is pushed down from the liver towards the anterior abdominal wall and if blood pools here, will result in dilatation of veins around the umbilicus.
ligamentum arteriosum: extra-hepatic portion of the fetal left umbilical vein: ligamentum teres hepatis (the "round ligament of the liver"). intra-hepatic portion of the fetal left umbilical vein (the ductus venosus) ligamentum venosum: distal portions of the fetal left and right umbilical arteries: medial umbilical ligaments
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. The round ligament divides the left part of the liver into medial and lateral sections.

The bile duct is some 6–8 cm long, and normally up to 8 mm in diameter. [4]Its proximal supraduodenal part is situated within the free edge of the lesser omentum.Its middle retroduodenal part is oriented inferiorly and right-ward, and is situated posterior to the first part of the duodenum, and anterior to the inferior vena cava.
