. Anatomy, descriptive and applied. Anatomy. Fig. 1086.—The peritoneal ligaments of the ii" (Schematic.) (Poirier and Charpy.) The lateral ligaments (Figs. 1083 and 1086) are two in number, and are called the right and left lateral ligaments. The right lateral ligament {ligaynentum triangulare ) (Figs. 1083 and 1086) is in reality the right extremity of the coronary ligament. This ligament is triangular in form, runs from the liver to the Diaphragm, and is formed by the apposition of the upper and lower layers of the coronary ligament. The left lateral ligament {liganien- tum triangulare sinistrum) (Figs. 1083 and 1086) is a fold of some considerable size, which connects the posterior part of the upper sur- face of the left lobe to the Dia- phragm; its anterior layer \h con- tinuous with the left layer of the falciform ligament. The round ligament {ligamentmn teres hepatis) (Figs. 1085 and 1087) is a fibrous cord resulting from the occlusion of the fetal umbilical vein. It ascends from the umbilicus, in the free margin of the falciform ligament, to the notch in the ante- rior border of the liver, from which it may be traced along the umbilical fissure on the inferior surface of the liver; on the posterior surface it is continued upward as the impervious ductus venosus (Jig. venosiim) as far as the inferior vena cava. Support and Movability of the Liver.—The liver is movable within certain narrow limits. It moves with respiration. On inspiration it moves down with the Diaphragm to distinctly below the costal arch in the right midclavicular line. Its fixation to the under surface of the Diaphragm by means of Qonnective tissue gives it its strongest support. The surface relations of the liver are given on page Fig. 1087.—Diagram to show the relations of the falciform or suspensorj' and round ligaments to the liver and the ab- dominal wall. (Gerrish.).
