Right triangular ligament. The superior surface of the liver. The right triangular ligament is situated at the right extremity of the bare area, and is a small fold which passes to the diaphragm, being formed by the apposition of the upper and lower layers of the coronary ligament.
The posterior layer of the coronary ligament is reflected [clarification needed] from the lower margin of the bare area and is continuous with the right layer of the lesser omentum. The anterior and posterior layers converge on the right and left sides of the liver to form the right triangular ligament and the left triangular ligament ...
The bare area of the liver is found on the posterosuperior surface of the right lobe of the liver. [1] This lies close to the thoracic diaphragm. It is the only part of the liver that has no peritoneal covering. [1] [2] It lies between the two layers of the coronary ligament, as well as the right triangular ligament. [1]
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 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.
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]
The hepatogastric ligament or gastrohepatic ligament connects the liver to the lesser curvature of the stomach. It contains the right and the left gastric arteries. In the abdominal cavity, it separates the greater and lesser sacs on the right. It is sometimes cut during surgery in order to access the lesser sac.
The cystohepatic triangle (or hepatobiliary triangle or Calot's triangle) is an anatomic space bordered by the cystic duct laterally, the common hepatic duct medially, and the inferior surface of the liver superiorly. The cystic artery lies within the hepatobiliary triangle. The triangle is used to locate the cystic artery during a laparoscopic ...
