. Cunningham's Text-book of anatomy. Anatomy. THE LIVER 1193 separated from it by the fossa of the ductus venosus. The groove leads down into the gastric impression on the inferior surface of the left lobe (Fig. 938), and, when in the body, lies in contact with the prominent right or anterior margin of the oesophageal orifice of the diaphragm (see p. 1152 and Fig. 912), sometimes also with the oesophagus itself. Facies Inferior (Inferior Surface).—This is an irregular, obliquely sloping surface (Fig. 938), which looks downwards, posteriorly, and to the left, and rests upon the stomach, lesser omentum, intestines, and right kidney. The division into right and left lobes is indicated on this surface by the left sagittal fossa, which passes from the umbilical notch at the anterior border back to the porta hepatis, and thence backwards as the fissure of the ductus venosus. The inferior surface of the left lobe is directed downwards and posteriorly, and Inferior vena Caudate lobe Fossa of ductus venosus Omental tuberosity Oesophageal groove cava in its fossa "End of right suprarenal vein Suprarenal impression Right end of caudate process Uncovered area of right lobe Renal impression Attachment of right Bg^ triangular ligament Gastric impression.

The part which rests upon the anterior surface of the stomach is rendered concave by the pressure of that organ (Fig. 938), and is known as the impressio gastrica; whilst the portion to the right of this, being free from the pressure of the stomach, projects backwards over the lesser curvature against the lesser omentum in the form of a smooth rounded prominence, and is known as the tuber omentale. The inferior surface of the right lobe may
