2. Hepatic veins
3. Hepatic arteries
4. Hepatic ducts
5. Ligaments
6. Fissures

Question 2

What do portal veins do?

Answer 2

Return nutrient rich (oxygen poor) blood from the spleen, pancreas and intestines

Question 3

What does the hepatic artery do?

Answer 3

Supplies oxygen rich (nutrient poor) blood to the liver from the celiac trunk/aorta

Question 4

What do the hepatic ducts carry?

Answer 4

Bile

Question 5

What do ligaments do in the liver? (2)

Answer 5

1. They secure it

2. Support it

Question 6

What are fissures?

Answer 6

Anatomical divisions

Question 7

What does the liver receive?

Answer 7

Receives and takes up nutrients and other molecules that are absorbed from the intestines before the blood is returned to the heart via the IVC

Question 8

What percentage does the portal vein take up?

Answer 8

75%

Question 9

What percentage does the hepatic artery take up?

Answer 9

25%

Question 10

What happens in hepatic veins? (2)

Answer 10

1. Blood from the portal veins and hepatic arteries mix as they travel though the liver sinusoids/lobules
2. This blood gets picked up by the hepatic veins before returning to the heart via the IVC

What happens to the bile when blood comes out of the liver?

Answer 16

Bile goes in

- they move in opposite directions

Question 17

Question 27

Where is the quadrate lobe located? (3)

Answer 27

1. Anterior to the porta hepatis
2. Medial to the gall bladder
3. Lateral to the fissure for the ligamentum teres

Question 28

Whats a good way to remember that the quadrate lobe is on the anterior side?
