(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 l-l 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 livers right and left lobes?
