- Holotopy: Right hypochondriac region, epigastric region, and left hypochondriac region.
- Skeletopy:
○ Superior border: Starts at the level of 10th rib, to the level of 5th intercostal space to the 5th intercostal space left to the sternum and ends at 6th intercostal space
○ Inferior border: starts at the 10th rib, goes to the level of 8-9th rib and then continues to the 6th intercostal space
○ Posteriorly: T9-T11
- Syntopy:
○ Superior border: Diaphragmatic Surface
○ Inferior border: Visceral surface
§ Pylorus of the stomach, Colon, Duodenum, Right kidney, Stomach, Esophagus

External Surface of the Liver:
- Anterior Liver:
○ Falciform Ligament (ligamentum falciforme)
○ Right lobe and left lobe
○ Inferior margin (margo inferior)
- Posterior Liver:
○ Posterior margin (margo posterior)
○ Bare Area (area nuda)
○ Right Sagittal Groove (sulcus sagittalis dexter) formed by groove for inferior vena cava (sulcus v. cavae) and fossa for the gall bladder (fossa vesicae biliaris)
○ Left Sagittal Groove (Sulcus Sagittalis sinister)
○ Round ligament of the liver (ligamentum teres hepatis)
○ Venous Ligament of the Liver (Ligamentum venosum)
○ Transverse Groove (Porta Hepatis)

Division of the Liver:
- Lobes of the Liver (Anatomical division of the liver):

○ Falciform Ligament (Lig. Falciforme Hepatis)
○ Coronary Ligament (Lig. Coronarium Hepatis)
○ Right Triangular Ligament (Lig. Triangulare Dexter)
○ Left Traingular Ligament (Lig. Triangulare Sinister)
- Ligaments towards organs:
○ Hepatogastric Ligament (Lig. hepatogastricum)
