25
Anatomically, right and left lobes are divided by the:
Falciform ligament (from IVC to GB)
26
Surgically, the liver would be divided by the main lobar fissure, called:
Cantlie's Line
27
What is the free edge of the falciform ligament?
Round ligament
28
Left lobe is divided into the lateral segment and medial segment T | F
True
29
Right lobe is divided into anterior and posterior segments T | F
True
30
Caudate lobe is located where? (caudate is the square shaped small area on liver)
Sits between the IVC and fissure for ligamentum venosum.
31
Quadrate lobe
It is the more rectangular area it is the more anterior portion of the liver. Sits between GB and fissure of ligamentum venosum (?)(anterior has the same amount of letters as quadrate)
32
Right lobe is divided into _______ and ________ portions.
Anterior and posterior
33
Left lobe is divided into _______ and ________ portions.
Medial and lateral
34
Which lobe of the liver is the smallest?
Caudate lobe
35
Ligamentum teres is also the:
Round ligament--connects to umbilicus
36
Caudate lobe is retroperitoneal T | F
False (even though IVC is retropertioneal)
37
What marks the surgical/functional division between the right and left lobes of the liver on the anterior surface?
Cantlie's line
38
Anatomical divison?
Falciform ligament
39
On the visceral surface of the liver, what separates the posterior caudate lobe from the more anterior quadrate lobe?
Porta hepatis
40
What structures make up the "cross bar of the H"?
Porta hepatis
41
Which liver lobe is more anterior?
Quadrate lobe
42
Gallbladder is:
A little resovoir that holds bile. Only attached to the liver by the neck of the GB, everything else is free moving.
43
Gallbladder is divided into:
Neck (connected to cystic duct) Body Fundus
44
When you eat a fatty meal, the hormonal feedback system controls the flow of bile from the GB into the duodenum. T | F
True
45
Describe the fundus:
Most inferior and anterior portion, usually the bile will be stored here (because of gravity).
46
What is the fundus in contact with?
Duodenum, transverse colon and anterior abdominal wall.
47
Describe the body:
Extends upwards from fundus and is in direct contact (but not attached to) the visceral part of the liver. Largerst part.
48
Hartmann's Pouch (the infindibulum):
Common for gallstones to be lodged. Weaker area of the wall, a mucousal fold or slight ***
49
What surface of the liver is the GB located on?
Anterior visceral
50
What liver landmark is it located within?
Cantlie's line (within the main lobar fissure)
51
Where is Hartmann's pouch located?
Neck of GB
52
What structure does bile flow through within the parenchyma?
Hepatic ducts
53
What part of the GB protrudes from the inferior aspect of the liver?
Fundus
54
What portion of the gallbladder is attached to the liver?
Neck
55
How many segments of the liver are there?
8--because each segment of the liver has its own blood supply.
56
What 2 veins divide the liver?
Portal and hepatic
57
In the ceterne of each segment there is a branch of:
Portal triad--hepatic artery, portal vein, and bile duct.
58
In the center of each segment, there is a branch of:
Portal triad--hepatic artery, portal vein, and bile duct.
59
In the otuer portion of the segment is the
Portal vein
60
What are the segments? (Start at back of liver and go clockwise)
``` Seg1-caudate lobe Seg2/3-lateral left lobe Seg4-medial left lobe divided into 4a(sup) and 4b(inf) Seg5/8-anterior right lobe Seg6/7-posterior right lobe ```
61
Left portal vein is more _______: (sup or inf)
Superior
62
You are very superior/inferior when you see the IVC:
Superior
63
You are very superior/inferior when you see the IVC:
Superior
64
What divides the liver into superior and inferior portions?
Portal Veins
65
If the portal vein is viewed on a (transverse) scan, you are not sure what segment you are on because you are on the division. T | F
True
