PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Anatomically the liver has four lobes: right, left, caudate, and quadrate. The quadrate lobe is located on the inferior surface of the right lobe.

Detailed explanation-2: -The liver is a triangular, bilobed structure consisting of a larger right lobe and a smaller left lobe. The falciform ligament separates the two lobes. A layer of fibrous tissue called Glisson’s capsule covers the liver.

Detailed explanation-3: -The liver has two lobes-the right and the left. Each lobe is made up of thousands of hexagonally-shaped lobules.

Detailed explanation-4: -Segment IV is the medial segment of the left lobe. Segments II, III, and IV collectively make up the functional left lobe of the liver. The functional right lobe of the liver is made up of segments V and VIII, the anterior segments, and segments VI and VII, the posterior segments.
