This is divided into lobes and is located on right side of body. It is divided into 4 lobes in humans (right, left, caudate, quadrate) and is divided into 6 lobes in cats (left medial, left lateral, quadrate, right medial, right lateral, caudate).
A
Spleen
B
Liver
C
Pancreas
D
Gall Bladder
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The plane of the middle hepatic vein divides the liver into right and left lobes or right and left hemiliver. This plane runs from the inferior vena cava to the gallbladder fossa.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Anatomically the liver has four lobes: right, left, caudate, and quadrate. The quadrate lobe is located on the inferior surface of the right lobe. The caudate lobe is located between the left and right lobes in an anterior and superior location.

Detailed explanation-4: -Traditionally, each of the hemispheres has been divided into four lobes: frontal, parietal, temporal and occipital.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Couinaud and the IHPBA classifications characterise segment 4 as being part of the left hemi-liver [1, 2]. It is divided into superior (4a) and inferior (4b) parts by a transverse plane passing through the bifurcation of the main portal vein (MPV) (Fig. 1). Anatomists often label segment 4b as the quadrate lobe.
