Gross Anatomy of the Liver01:17

Gross Anatomy of the Liver

2.1K
The liver, the largest gland within the human body, is a firm and reddish-brown organ. This wedge-shaped structure weighs approximately 1.5 kg and occupies a significant portion of the right hypochondriac and epigastric regions. It extends more to the right of the body's midline than to the left.
Located under the diaphragm, the liver is almost entirely ensconced within the rib cage, providing it with substantial protection. Except for the superior most bare area, the liver's surface is...

Anatomy of the Heart01:27

Anatomy of the Heart

120.6K
The human heart is made up of three layers of tissue that are surrounded by the pericardium, a membrane that protects and confines the heart. The outermost layer, closest to the pericardium, is the epicardium. The pericardial cavity separates the pericardium from the epicardium. Beneath the epicardium is the myocardium, the middle layer, and the endocardium, the innermost layer. There are four chambers of the heart: the right atrium, the right ventricle, the left atrium, and the left ventricle.

Anatomy of the Heart

3.3K
The heart is a hollow, muscular organ approximately the size of a fist, consisting of four chambers. It is enclosed in the pericardium, a fibrous sac with two layers: the visceral and parietal pericardium, separated by a fluid-filled space containing serous fluid to reduce friction.
The heart has three layers: the innermost endocardium, the muscular myocardium, and the outer epicardium, all working together for optimal cardiac function.

Anatomy of the Eyeball01:20

Anatomy of the Eyeball

9.9K
The eye is a spherical, hollow structure composed of three tissue layers. The outer layer — the fibrous tunic, comprises the sclera — a white structure — and the cornea, which is transparent. The sclera encompasses some of the ocular surface, most of which is not visible. However, the 'white of the eye' is distinctively visible in humans compared to other species. The cornea, a clear covering at the front of the eye, enables light penetration. The eye's middle...

Tooth Anatomy01:21

Tooth Anatomy

2.3K
The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or...

Background:

  • Procedural complications in interventional radiology, surgery, and liver transplantation can be reduced by understanding hepatic vascular anatomy.
  • Knowledge of vascular variants aids in patient selection and management strategy development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review clinically significant hepatic vascular anatomy.
  • To highlight important anatomical variants relevant to medical procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on hepatic vascular anatomy.
  • Focus on advanced imaging modalities such as multi-detector computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging.
  • Non-invasive demonstration of vascular structures.

Main Results:

  • Detailed overview of normal hepatic vascular anatomy.
  • Identification and description of common and significant hepatic vascular variants.
  • Emphasis on the role of CT and MR in visualizing these variants.
