Question
Chapter 23, Problem 12RQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The predominant abdominal region in which the small intestine, the liver, the stomach, the ascending colon, and the cecum are found.
Introduction:
The abdominal wall is divided into nine regions based on the two parasagittal lines that divide the body unequally as well as the two transversal lines that divide the body equally. The presence of different digestive organs in the nine different regions aids clinicians to locate the demarcations by bony markings.

(a) Make a rough sketch of the visceral surface of the liver, and label the following five structures: fissure, porta hepatis, inferior vena cava, gallbladder, caudate lobe. (b) To follow up on part (a), it is easy to learn the structure of the visceral surface of the liver if you can find and mark the big H there. To mark the left vertical limb of the H, draw a line through the fissure. To mark the crossbar of the H, draw a horizontal line through the porta hepatis. Then, to mark the right limb of the H, draw a continuous vertical line through the inferior vena cava and gallbladder. Which two lobes are inside the H? Which limb of the H separates the liver’s right and left lobes?
Label the four layers of the digestive tract in the following figure:
Name a structure that is located posterior and inferior to the liver.
