Q

8 Segments of the Liver

Know basic

A

The three hepatic veins are the longitudinal boundaries.

The transverse plane is defined by the right and left portal pedicles.

The caudate lobe (segment I) is situated posteriorly. Segment I includes the caudate lobe.

Couinauds’s system provides the anatomic basis for hepatic surgical resections. By using this system, the radiologist may be able to precisely isolate the location of a lesion for the surgical team. The description of the liver segments is based on the portal and hepatic venous segments.

Q

Ant. Abdominal Wall Muscles read

A

Arrangement of these muscles provide support for abd. Viscera and prevents tearing of the muscles themselves

The muscles work posturally by contracting and may flex the spine (rectus abdominis, obliques working both sides at once) or twist the spine (individual obliques or opposite internal/external obliques working together).
