The visceral surface is in general concave, Init is irregular in adaptation to the viscera in contact with it. The largest of is the stomach, and the configuration of the liver varies greatly in accordance with the degree of fulness of that viscus. When the stomach is well filled, there is a ridge on the liver which corresponds to the lesser curvature. To the left of this is a large concavity adapted to the body and fundus of the stomach; and on the right is a smaller impression of the pyloric part of the stomach, the first part of the duodenum, and the anterior part of the Posterior vena cava.

Dorsal to the cavity for the pyloric part of the stomach is a deep depression, and at the bottom of this is the portal fissure. To see the latter the papillary and caudate lobes must be drawn apart. The hepatic artery enters the liver at the dorsal part of the fissure, the portal vein enters cen- trally, and the hepatic duct emerges at the ventral part.
