what is the function of the liver
A
- synthesis of bile
- glycogen storage
- clotting factor production
9
Q
what are the two external liver surfaces called
A
- diaphragmatic surface
- visceral surface
10
Q
diaphragmatic surface of the liver
A
- anterosuperior surface
- smooth and convex
- posterior aspect is not covered by visceral peritoneum
11
Q
visceral surface of the liver
A
- posteroinferior surface of the liver
- covered with peritoneum
- irregular and flat, moulding the shape of the surrounding organs
- in contact with: right kidney, right adrenal gland, right colic flexure, transverse colon, first part of duodenum, gallbladder, oesophagus, stomach
12
Q
ligaments of the liver
A
- falciform ligament
- coronary ligament
- triangular ligament
- lesser omentum
13
Q
falciform ligament attachment
A
- anterior surface of liver to anterior abdominal wall
14
Q
coronary ligament attachment
A
- superior surface of the liver to the inferior surface of the diaphragm
15
Q
triangular ligament attachment
A
- left = left lobe of liver to the diaphragm
- right = right lobe of liver to the diaphragm
16
Q
lesser omentum attachment
A
- liver to the lesser curvature of the stomach and first part of the duodenum
17
Q
caudate lobe of the liver
A
- upper aspect of the visceral surface
- between the gallbladder and a fossa from the ligamentum teres
18
Q
quadrate lobe
A
- lower aspect of the visceral surface
- between the gallbladder and a fossa from the ligamentum teres
19
Q
blood supply of the liver
A
- hepatic artery proper
- hepatic portal vein
20
Q
nerve supply of the liver
A
- hepatic plexus which is sympathetic and parasympathetic
- enter at the porta hepatis
21
Q
lymphatic drainage of the liver
A
- anterior aspect = hepatic lymph nodes
posterior aspect = phrenic and posterior mediastinal nodes
22
Q
innervation of the gallbladder
A
vagus nerve
