Liver: Horizontal section through the abdomen

Liver: Section through the abdomen with view to the liver

The thin tissue area between the liver and the curvature of the stomach is called Omentum minus. This serous skin cloths the peritoneal cavity and is the ventral limit of bursa omentalis. This is bordered to the right by the liver.
The downward pointing edge of the liver is sharp-edged and easy to feel with an enlarged liver. The liver extends from the right regio hypochondriaca via the regio epigastrica to the left upper abdomen. The stomach is visible at the left lower edge of the liver. The gall bladder is located on the underside of the liver and towers above the lower edge of the liver.
