Detailed explanation-1: -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.
