There are three vertical and three horizontal fissures; the verticals are: 1) Umbilical portal fissure (A05.8.01.034), marked on the diaphragmatic surface of the liver by the hepatic insertion of the falciform ligament; it is tilted 50 degrees to the left in relation to the sagittal plane of the liver; it does not contain the left hepatic vein, however, it contains from the front to the back side: the round ligament of the liver, the umbilical part of the left portal branch, and the venous ligament in the parenchymal groove that forms its lower edge; it separates segments II-III from segment IV on the diaphragmatic surface, and separates segment III from segment IV in the front side and segment I from segment II at the back of the visceral surface.
