Fig. 5 Liver

The part of the gut which succeeds the stomach shows an increase in its ventro-dorsal diameter and from it the liver arises; the liver diverticulum grows from the gut at first ventralwards and then towards the left, so that the lumen of gut and of liver diverticulum together form an L-shaped cavity; the liver then grows cranialwards and to the right,caudal wards and to the left and thus, as shown also by Thompson (1908), the liver as a whole lies obliquely across the ventral surface of the gut (Text-fig. 5).

Historic Disclaimer - information about historic embryology pages

Pages where the terms "Historic" (textbooks, papers, people, recommendations) appear on this site, and sections within pages where this disclaimer appears, indicate that the content and scientific understanding are specific to the time of publication. This means that while some scientific descriptions are still accurate, the terminology and interpretation of the developmental mechanisms reflect the understanding at the time of original publication and those of the preceding periods, these terms, interpretations and recommendations may not reflect our current scientific understanding.     (More?
