What is the venous drainage of the liver
hepatic veins
What is the coronary ligament of the liver

What is the function of the coronary ligaments of the liver
connect liver to diaphragm
What is the falciform ligament
ventral mesentery that connects liver to anterior abdominal wall
What is the ligamentum teres

What are the fissures of the liver
right sagittal

What is found within the left sagittal fissure
ligamentum venosum groove/ligamentum teres groove
What is found within the transverse fissure
porta hepatis
What is the bare area of the liver
triangular surface on the superior surface of the liver where the liver is attached to the diaphragm via fat tissue; there is no peritoneum between liver and diaphragm
Other than the bare area of the liver, what other parts lack peritoneum
gallbladder bed
porta hepatis
What are the triangular ligaments of the liver
triangular reflections of visceral peritoneum where liver is attached to diaphragm
What type of blood is contained within the hepatic veins
processed portal blood reentering the caval circulation
