Anatomy. 1322 THE ORGANS OF DIGESTION right of this the inferior vena cava is lodged in an indentation in the hver substance, lying between the uncovered area and the Spigelian lobe. Close to the right of this indentation and immediately above the renal impression is a small triangular depressed area, the suprarenal impression {impressio siqyrarenalis) (Fig. 1084), the greater part of which is devoid of peritoneum; it lodges the right suprarenal gland, which is inserted between the liver and Diaphragm. To the left of the fossa for the inferior vena cava is the Spigelian lobe, which lies between the fissure for the inferior vena cava and the fissure for the ductus venosus. Below and in front it projects and forms part of the posterior boundary of the transverse fissure. Here, to the right, it is connected with the under surface of the right lobe of the liver by the caudate lobe, and to the left it presents a tubercle, the tuberculum papillare (Fig. 1084). It is opposite the tenth and eleventh thoracic vertebrse, and rests upon the aorta and crura of the Diaphragm, being covered by the peri- toneum of the lesser sac. On the posterior surface to the left of the Spigelian lobe is a groove, the oesophageal groove (impressio oesophagea) ,^ indicating the position of the abdominal portion of the oesophagus (Fig. 1084)..

The inferior border or margin (margo inferioris) is thin and sharp, and marked opposite the attachment of the falciform ligament by a deep notch, the umbilical notch (incisura umbilicalis), and opposite the cartilage of the ninth rib by a second notch for the fundus of the gall-bladder (incisura vesicae felleae). In adult males this border generally corresponds with the lower margin of the thorax in the right midclavicular line; but in women and children it usually projects below the ribs.
