· The falciform ligament is attached to the diaphragm and separates the medial and lateral segments of the left lobe of the liver.

· The falciform ligament is composed of two layers of peritoneum closely united together.

· Inferiorly, the falciform ligament contains the round ligament (the obliterated umbilical vein) between its layers.

· It merges with the fissure of the ligamentum venosum, which contains the obliterated ductus venosus that connects the left portal vein to the left hepatic vein.
