Liver of Sheep and Goat
The liver of sheep and goat weighs 550-700 gm. It lies entirely to the right of the plane. The parietal surface is related to the right of the diaphragm exclusively.
The visceral surface presents extensive reticular and abomasal impressions and a small omasal impression medial to the portal fissure.
The umbilical fissure is deep and partially divides the gland into two chief lobes, dorsal and ventral. The caudal lobe is prismatic and blunt pointed.
The esophageal notch is represented by a slight impression. The gall bladder is narrow and long. The bile duct joins the pancreatic duct to form a common bile duct, which opens into the duodenum about one foot from the pylorus.
