Detailed explanation-2: -From a surgical point of view, the liver is divided into right and left lobes of almost equal (60:40) size by a major fissure (Cantlie’s line) running from the gallbladder fossa in front to the IVC fossa behind.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
