Liver Anatomy

The liver has an inflow, outflow from the liver veins so that blood can go back to the heart and biliary system. The majority of the blood from the intestine is designed to go back to the heart through the liver and this way of blood transport is referred to as the portal vein.
To understand it, the liver needs to be considered as a functional component dividing into 8 sections.
To understand it properly, the liver needs to be seen as a functional component. Each of the sections is known for performing independently and due to this it can be removed on its own or in combination with others. 2 sections are combined which are referred to as the left medial section, and left lateral sections. Others include the right anterior section and right posterior sector,
