Visceral Surface. — The left lateral lobe extends ven- 

 tral to the left cystic lobe, occluding it, and may extend to 

 the right of the gall bladder. It is concave for the body 

 of the stomach. The cleft for the gall bladder and the 

 well defined fissure passing dorsally for the cystic duct 

 divide the mesial or cystic lobe into right and left por- 

 tions. The right cystic is related to the pyloric portion 

 of the stomach. ( Page 102. ) The right lateral lobe is the 

 smallest of the three, and on its ventral aspect is a well 

 defined and separate caudate lobe, hollowed below for the 

 kidney. This is prolonged to the left as a small spigelian 

 lobe. Between the two passes the portal vein, artery, and 

 duct, and at the dorso-internal portion of the caudate is 

 the hepatic entrance of the inf. v. cava.
