The caudate lobe (lobus caudatus; Spigelian lobe) is situated upon the posterior surface of the right lobe of the liver, opposite the tenth and eleventh thoracic vertebræ. It is bounded, below, by the porta; on the right, by the fossa for the inferior vena cava; and, on the left, by the fossa for the ductus venosus.
Is caudate lobe left or right?
The caudate lobe is one of four anatomical lobes of the liver. The lobe is bounded on the left by the fissure for the ligamentum venosum, inferiorly by the porta hepatis and on the right by the groove for the inferior vena cava.
What are the two lobes of liver?
- Each lobe is made up of thousands of hexagonally-shaped lobules. These lobules are very small.
- Each lobule is made up of numerous liver cells, called hepatocytes, that line up in radiating rows.
- Between each row are sinusoids.
