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 right hepatic vein (RHV) divides the right lobe into anterior and posterior sectors; the left hepatic vein (LHV) divides the left lobe into medial (quadrate) and lateral sectors.
Detailed explanation-3: -Its under and posterior surfaces being marked by three fossæ: the fossa for the portal vein, the fossa for the gall-bladder and the fossae for the inferior vena cava. These separate the right lobe into two smaller lobes on its left posterior part: the quadrate lobe and the caudate lobe.
Detailed explanation-4: -The posterior surface of the liver is indented from top to bottom by this deep vertical groove, which ends down here at the hepatic notch. The lower part of the groove is formed by the ligamentum teres, which we’ve seen from in front.
