So in this lecture, we're going to focus briefly on the several important functions of the liver. Now, let's begin by describing what the liver looks like and where the liver is found in the body. So the liver is located in the upper right abdomen portion of the body. It's found to the right of of our stomach. So the liver consists of the left lobe, shown here, and the right lobe. And in between the lobes, we have our ligaments, we have the coronary ligament and we have the falciform ligament.
