ABSTRACT

In Ayurveda ancient texts liver is called “Yakrut”. An organ to give the body and take the body and also the nutrients itself called “Yakrut”. In modern we can say Liver. The liver is the largest organ, accounting for approximately 2% to 3% of average body weight. The liver has 2 lobes typically described in two ways, by morphologic anatomy and by functional anatomy. Located in the right upper quadrant of the abdominal cavity beneath the right hemi diaphragm, it is protected by the rib cage and maintains its position through peritoneal reflections, referred to as ligamentous attachments. Although not true ligaments, these attachments are avascular and are in continuity with the Glisson capsule or the equivalent of the visceral peritoneum of the liver.
