right 10th rib to left 5th intercostal space
upper border of the liver
5th intercostal space on both right and left
ligament extending from the umbilicus to the liver
falciform ligament
the right leaflet of the falciform ligament becomes the:
coronary ligament
the left leaflet of the falciform ligament becomes the:
left triangular ligament
what structure is embedded within the falciform ligament
ligamentum teres hepatis
the ligamentum teres hepatis is a remnant of what structure
umbilical vein
the ligamentum venosum is a remnant of what structure
ductus venosus
the superior layer of the coronary ligament is reflected onto the:
diaphragm
the inferior layer of the coronary ligament becomes the
hepatorenal ligament
what structure lies in the posterior right limb of the H fissure of the liver
IVC
what structure lies in the anterior right limb of the H fissure of the liver
gallbladder
what structure lies in the crossbar of the H fissure of the liver
porta hepatis
what structure lies in the posterior left limb of the H fissure of the liver
ligamentum venosum
what structure lies in the anterior left limb of the H fissure of the liver
falciform ligament
the H fissure divides the liver into:
right, left, caudate, quadrate lobes
the anterosuperior aspect of the liver fits into:
cupola of the diaphragm
function of the liver
glycogen storage, bile secretion, other metabolic functions
right triangular ligament is formed from the convergence of the __________
inferior and superior layers of coronary ligament
divisions of the liver anteriorly
right lobe and left lobe
T/F: the quadrate lobe is more posterior to the caudate lobe
F
difference between anatomical and functional subdivisions of the liver
anatomical lobes - determined by fissures
functional lobes - determined by distribution of blood vessels
the bare area of the liver is found in which surface
inferoposterior
subphrenic recess is divided into the left and the right subdivisions by the:
falciform ligament
the liver is covered by peritoneum except in these areas:
- bare area
- groove for IVC
- gallbladder fossa
- porta hepatis
simultaneous secondary branchings of the portal vein and hepatic artery within the liver
portal pedicles
T/F: the hepatic artery and portal vein independently supply all of the 8 surgically resectable hepatic segments
F, they only supply 7
hepatic artery is a branch of the :
celiac artery
hepatic portal vein is formed as a union of which two veins
- superior mesenteric vein
2. splenic vein
3 major hepatic veins
- right hepatic vein
- central hepatic vein
- peripheral hepatic vein
the hepatic artery supplies __% of the liver’s blood
20-30%
the hepatic portal vein supplies ___% of the liver’s blood
70-80%
difference of blood in hepatic artery and hepatic portal vein
- hepatic artery - rich in oxygen, poor in nutrients
2. hepatic portal vein - rich in nutrients, poor in oxygen
hepatic veins drain into the
IVC
vein that connects the intestinal veins with the IVC and its retroperitoneal branches
vein of Retzius
most of the lymph coming from the liver is formed in the:
perisinusoidal space of Disse
space of Disse - function
area where non-bile products of the liver are secreted
lymph drainage of deep liver structures
hepatic lymph nodes
