    The liver is the largest gland and second largest organ in the body, weighing about 1.5 kg. It has several important functions: metabolism, hemostasis, glycogen storage, and digestion. The liver is divided into two lobes and eight segments. It has five surfaces - anterior, superior, right lateral, posterior, and inferior. The inferior border has notches for the ligamentum teres and gallbladder fundus. The anterior, superior, and right lateral surfaces are related to the diaphragm and lungs.
