Liver: horizontal section through the abdomen

Liver: section through the abdomen with view of the liver

The thin area of tissue between the liver and the curvature of the stomach is called omentum minus. This serous skin coats the peritoneal cavity and is the ventral boundary of the bursa omentalis. It is bordered on the right side by the liver. The downward pointing edge of the liver is sharp-edged and easy to palpate in an enlarged liver. The liver extends from the right hypochondriac region via the epigastric region to the left upper abdomen. The stomach is visible at the lower left border of the liver. The gallbladder is located on the underside of the liver and protrudes above the lower edge of the liver.
