Talk:Falciform ligament

Incorrect depictions
The first picture of the liver, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Gray1085.png, is drawn mirrored. The correct anatomical picture of the liver would show it with the left side on the right and right side on the left, which it clearly isn't in that picture. This is very strange since it's from an anatomical book, and these usually don't make mistakes of this kind.

Note also that the second picture http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Illu_liver_gallbladder.jpg of the posterior side of the liver is depicted upside down. The gallbladder is sticking out on the top side of the liver which is incorrect. The correct way to flip an organ to se its back side in anatomy is through the other axis of rotation, where right becomes left and vice versa.


 * The first image that you are talking about, gives the view of the superior surface of the liver and not the anterior view and therefore is actually not a mirrored image.  D ip ta ns hu Talk 09:55, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

The statement that the falciform ligament separates the Right and Left liver lobes is incorrect. The falciform ligament separates segment 2 and 3 from segment 4, so it is commpletely within the left lobe and separates the medial and lateral segments of the left lobe. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.219.8.244 (talk) 19:37, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
