Most of the bile produced by the liver is pushed back up the cystic duct by peristalsis to arrive in the gallbladder for storage, until it is needed for digestion. The common hepatic duct finally joins with the cystic duct from the gallbladder to form the common bile duct, carrying bile to the duodenum of the small intestine. Those two hepatic ducts join to form the common hepatic duct that drains all bile away from the liver. These bile ducts next join to form the larger left and right hepatic ducts, which carry bile from the left and right lobes of the liver. The round ligament is a remnant of the umbilical vein that carries blood into the body during fetal development. At the inferior end of the liver, the falciform ligament forms the round ligament (ligamentum teres) of the liver and connects the liver to the umbilicus.
The wide coronary ligament connects the central superior portion of the liver to the diaphragm.Located on the lateral borders of the left and right lobes, respectively, the leftand right triangular ligaments connect the superior ends of the liver to the diaphragm.The falciform ligament runs inferiorly from the diaphragm across the anterior edge of the liver to its inferior border.
