The following statement(s) is/are true concerning hepatic anatomical nomenclature

a. In the traditional English system, the right lobe is divided into anterior and posterior segments by an intersegmental line with no topographic landmarks or interparenchymal septi

b. The caudate lobe in the French or Couinaud’s nomenclature is referred to as segment I

c. The right lobe of the liver by English nomenclature is subdivided in the French system into segments V–VIII

d. In the English system, the left lobe of the liver is divided into the medial segment and lateral segment by the falciform ligament

Until recently, anatomic descriptions in the English literature began with the major divisions of liver into a right and left lobe separated by a vertical line drawn from the gallbladder fossa to the inferior vena cava. The left lobe is further divided by the falciform ligament into a medial segment and lateral segment. The right lobe is further divided into an anterior and posterior segment by an intersegmental line which has no reliable topographical landmarks and no interparenchymal septi to allow easy identification. The French nomenclature also known as Couinaud’s nomenclature enumerates the segments of the liver beginning with segment I or the caudate lobe. Segments II, III, and IV make up most of the “English” left lobe, while segments V through VIII represent the English nomenclature right lobe.
