The Liver - WikiMD   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) The superior surface is attached to the diaphragm and anterior abdominal wall by a triangular or falciform fold of peritoneum, the falciform ligament in the free margin of which is a rounded cord, the ligamentum teres (obliterated umbilical vein). The anterior border (margo anterior) is thin and sharp, and marked opposite the attachment of the falciform ligament by a deep notch, the umbilical notch and opposite the cartilage of the ninth rib by a second notch for the fundus of the gall-bladder. The left triangular ligament (ligamentum triangulare sinistrum) is a fold of some considerable size, which connects the posterior part of the upper surface of the left lobe to the diaphragm; its anterior layer is continuous with the left layer of the falciform ligament. www.wikimd.org /index.php?title=The_Liver   (4900 words)

Liver   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) These "ligaments" are in no way related to the true anatomic ligaments in joints, and have essentially no functional importance, but they are easily recognizable surface landmarks.

The umbilical vein enters the abdomen at the umbilicus, and passes upward along the free margin of the falciform ligament of the liver to the inferior surface of the liver. www.sciencedaily.com /encyclopedia/liver   (1389 words)

General Inspection of the Abdominal Cavity and its Contents The embryonic urachus is the median umbilical ligament and the embryonic umbilical arteries are the lateral umbilical ligament. The falciform ligament is a double fold of peritoneum which extends from the umbilicus to the antero-superior surface of the liver. The median umbilical ligament extends from the tip of the bladder to the umbilicus and is the remains of the fetal urachus. mywebpages.comcast.net /wnor/abdominalcavity.htm   (1329 words)

LIVER ANATOMY The falciform ligament (and thus the ligamentum teres since it is contained within the falciform ligament) divides the left lobe into medial and lateral segments. Structures within the plane of the umbilical fissure include the falciform ligament, ligamentum venosum, and ligamentum teres are remnant of ductus venous and umbilical veins respectively. The ligamentum teres, a remnant of umbilical vein of the foetus, runs in the free edge of falciform ligament from the umbilicus to the inferior border of the liver and joins the left branch of the portal vein. dcregistry.com /users/liverabscess/anatomy.html   (4736 words)
