Surrounded by a fibrous capsule, the liver is made up of liver lobules (the functional units of the liver). Each lobule is constructed around a central vein that empties into the right and left hepatic veins which then drain into the vena cava.
The liver is the largest glandular organ of the body. It weighs about 3 lb (1.36 kg). It is reddish brown in color and is divided into four lobes of unequal size and shape. The liver lies on the right side of the abdominal cavity beneath the diaphragm. Blood is carried to the liver via two large vessels called the hepatic artery and the portal vein. The heptic artery carries oxygen-rich blood from the aorta (a major vessel in the heart).
