The image shows an axial view of the lower thoracic cavity/upper abdominal cavity, with the lungs in situ. The left lobe of the liver is responsible for processing blood received from the entire gastrointestinal tract. However, the arrow indicates the right lobe of the liver, whose function is to process blood received from the pancreas, the stomach and the midgut through the superior mesenteric vein.

b
Processes blood from the entire gastrointestinal tract
QuestionChoice
The image shows an axial view of the lower thoracic cavity/upper abdominal cavity, with the lungs in situ. The arrow indicates the right lobe of the liver, whose function is to process blood received from the pancreas, the stomach and the midgut through the superior mesenteric vein. This option is not correct, as the structure is anatomically distinct from the lung parenchyma and correlates with the normal anatomical position of the right lobe of the liver.

Processes blood received from the pancreas, the stomach and the midgut through the superior mesenteric vein
QuestionChoice
The image shows an axial view of the lower thoracic cavity/upper abdominal cavity, with the lungs in situ. The spleen is responsible for filtering blood and removing damaged red blood cells from the circulation. However, the spleen is located on the left side of the body. The arrow points to a structure on the right (the right side of the patient is on the left side of the image and vice versa). Thus, the arrow indicates the right lobe of the liver, whose function is to process blood received from the pancreas, the stomach and the midgut through the superior mesenteric vein.

Removes damaged red blood cells from the circulation
QuestionChoice
The image shows an axial view of the lower thoracic cavity/upper abdominal cavity, with the lungs in situ. The stomach is responsible for the storage of food for digestion before onwards passage into the duodenum. The arrow however indicates the right lobe of the liver, whose function is to process blood received from the pancreas, the stomach and the midgut through the superior mesenteric vein.
