Translations:Leber (Hepar)/10/en

The liver is located in the right upper abdomen, but extends beyond the epigastrium into the left upper abdomen. It pushes itself far in front of the stomach, which leaves a mark (Impressio gastrica) on the back of the left hepatic lobe. The right lobe of the liver comes into close contact with the colon (right flexure), the small intestine (Pars superior), the upper part of the right kidney and the right adrenal gland. Their impression sites are also named: Impressio colica, duodenalis, renalis and suprarenalis (see "WebViewer"). The position of the liver is strongly dependent on respiration, since its underside is fused with the diaphragm. Age and posture are also decisive for the position of the liver. The gall bladder lies dorsally between the left and right lobe of the liver.
