Question

Lobes of the liver are separated by a fibrous structure called ___________.

• A. ligamentum venosum
• B. falciform ligament
• C. coronary ligament
• D. none of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B falciform ligament

Liver is the largest gland of our digestive system. It is separated into left and right lobes by falciform ligament. The falciform ligament is a sickle shaped fibrous structure made up of two layers. It helps attach the anterior part of the liver to the ventral abdominal wall.
The ligamentum venosum is a fibrous cord. It passes from the left portal vein (carries deoxygenated blood from other digestive organs to the liver) to the left hepatic vein (vein present in the liver) before entering the inferior vena cava (largest vein in the human body).
Coronary ligament is a crown like structure that attaches the upper surface of the liver to the lower surface of the diaphragm.
