| The ligamentum venosum courses along the inferior aspect of the liver in the fossa for ductus venosum, which separates the caudate lobe and the left lobe. The liver is a vital organ in the human body and is present in Vertebrates and some other animals | |

| Fetal circulation. The ductus venosus (red), which becomes the ligamentum venosum, connects the umbilical vein to the inferior vena cava. In the Fetus, the ductus venosus shunts a significant majority (80% of the blood flow of the Umbilical vein directly to the Inferior vena cava. The umbilical vein is a Blood vessel present during fetal development that carries Oxygenated Blood from the Placenta to the growing Fetus The inferior vena cava (or IVC is the large Vein that carries de-oxygenated Blood from the lower half of the body into the Heart. | |

The ligamentum venosum is the fibrous remnant of the ductus venosus of the fetal circulation. Embryology (from Greek grc ἔμβρυον embryon, "unborn embryo" and grc -λογία -logia) is the study of the development In the Fetus, the ductus venosus shunts a significant majority (80% of the blood flow of the Umbilical vein directly to the Inferior vena cava. Elsevier, the world's largest Publisher of Medical and Scientific literature, forms part of the Reed Elsevier group In the Fetus, the ductus venosus shunts a significant majority (80% of the blood flow of the Umbilical vein directly to the Inferior vena cava. A fetus (or foetus or fœtus) is a developing Mammal or other Viviparous Vertebrate, after the Embryonic stage and Usually, it is attached to the left branch of the portal vein within the porta hepatis of the liver. The porta hepatis or transverse fissure of the liver is a short but deep fissure about 5 cm long extending transversely across the under surface of the left portion of the The liver is a vital organ in the human body and is present in Vertebrates and some other animals It may be continuous with the round ligament of liver (ligamentum teres). For other structures with similar name see Round ligament. In Anatomy, the round ligament of (the liver (also commonly known by its
It is invested by the peritoneal folds of the lesser omentum within a fissure on the inferior surface of the liver between the caudate and main parts of the left lobe. The lesser omentum (small omentum gastrohepatic omentum is the double layer of Peritoneum that extends from the Liver to the lesser curvature of the Stomach
