Journal Title: Applied Physiology and Anatomy Digest - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Liver the largest abdominal viscera occupies most of the part of the right hypochondrium and extending into left hypochondrium in adults1. The liver develops in the third week of intrauterine life. It is a major storage centre for the absorbed food like proteins carbohydrates, fats etc. Aim: Aim of our study is to find out the various types of liver lobes and anomalies. Methods: Present study was conducted on 50 cadaveric livers obtained from the dissection in Department of Anatomy, Kamineni institute of medical sciences Narketpally, Nalgonda . Results: Our observation shows out of 50 livers 30 livers (44%) were found to be anomalous, accessory lobes in 5 livers (11%), hypoplastic left lobe in 16 livers (26%), Very small left lobe in 1 livers (1.6%), absence of quadrate lobe in 2 livers (3%), accessory fissure in 3 livers (5%), Elongated left lobe with absent quadate lobe in 2 livers (3.3%).
