Detailed explanation-1: -Externally, the liver is divided by the falciform ligament into a larger right lobe and a smaller left lobe (Fig. 5). The falciform ligament attaches the liver to the anterior abdomi-nal wall. Its base contains the ligamentum teres, which has a remnant of the vestigial umbilical vein.
Detailed explanation-2: -The caudate lobe of the liver is located deep in the liver, in front of the inferior vena cava (IVC) behind the three major hepatic veins, and cranial to the hilar plate.
Detailed explanation-3: -The caudate lobe is located between the left and right lobes in an anterior and superior location.
Detailed explanation-4: -The caudate lobe lies between the fissure for the ligamentum venosum and the fossa for the inferior vena cava. The quadrate lobe is partly covered by the gallbladder in normal patients; anatomically, it lies between the fissure for the ligamentum teres and the gallbladder fossa.
