THORAX ABDOMEN AND PELVIS

Detailed explanation-1: -Anatomically the liver has four lobes: right, left, caudate, and quadrate.

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: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -The liver consists of 2 main lobes. Both are made up of 8 segments that consist of 1, 000 lobules (small lobes). These lobules are connected to small ducts (tubes) that connect with larger ducts to form the common hepatic duct.
