The liver is divided by fissures (Fossae) into four bodies, as :- The Right (the largest lobe), the Left, the Quadrate and the Caudate Lobes.The liver is connected to the diaphragm and abdominal walls by five ligaments (blands of sheath of tough, fibrous tissues) : the membranous falciform (which seperates the right and left lobes), coronary and right and left triangular ligmaments and the fibrous round ligament, which is derived from the embryonic umbilical vein. Venous blood containing digested food is brought to the liver in the Hepatic portal vein. Branches of this vein pass in between the lobules and terminate in the sinusoids. Oxygented blood is supplied in the hepatic artery. The blood leaves the liver via a central vein in each lobule, which drains into hepatic vein. The liver is supplied by parasympathetic nerve fibres from the vagus nerve and by sympathetic fibres from the solar plexus. The liver has a number of important functions. It synthesizes bile, which drains into the gall bladder before being released into the duodenum. The liver is an impotant site of metabolism o fthe carbohydrates, proteins and fats. It regulates the amount of blood sugar ; converting excess amino-acids by breaking them down into ammonia and finally urea ; and it stores and metabolizes fats. The liver also synthesizes fibrogen and prothrombin (essential blood clothing substance) and heparin, an anticoagulant. It forms red blood cells in the fetus and is the site of production of poisonous substances and it breaks down worn out red cells and other unwanted substances, such as excess oestrogen in male (Kupffer cells = large liver cells which break down the haemoglobins into bile).
