Text Appearing Before Image:
186 TEE CAT. (CHAP. VI. posterior surface of the right central lobe is marked by a depression in which lies a pear-shaped bag—completely invested by peritoneum— called the gall-bladder, which has its blind end (or fundus) directed downwards near (gb), the ventral margin of the liver. The notch at which its fundus is situated, and the depression in which the bladder lies, is called the cystic fissure (<?/). The fundus of the gall-bladder is occasionally buried in the liver's substance, and appears, through a cleft, in its convex surface. The part of the right central lobe which lies to the left of the gall-bladder (re) is itself bounded on the left by the umbilical fissure already described.

Fig. 97.—Section of a portion of the Liver (of the Pig), passing longitudinally THROUGH A CONSIDERABLE HEPATIC VEIN, ENLARGED ABOUT FIVE DIAMETERS. H. Hepatic venous trunk, against which the sides of the lobules are applied. h, h, h. Three sub-lobular hepatic veins, on which the bases of the lobules rest, and through the coat < of which they are seen as polygonal fissures. i. Mouth of the intra-lobular veins, opening into the sub-lobular veins. i'. Intra-lobular veins, shown passing up the centre of some divided lobules, c, c. Walls of the hepatic venous canal, with the polygonal bases of the lobules. Beyond it lies a very small lobe, the left central lobe, which is separated from a very large lobe—the left lateral lobe (11)—by a deep fissure called the left lateral fissure (If). The bile, or hepatic, ducts issue from the lobes of the liver and the portal fissure, and join the duct which comes- from the gall- bladder. The latter duct is called the cystic duct, and the common duct formed by its union with the hepatic ducts, is termed the ductus communis choledochus (bd). This opens into the duodenum at about f n inch and a half from the pylorus—after being joined by one of the pancreatic ducts.
