The liver sits in the cranial region of the abdomen. The incision must extend to the zyfoid to completely visualize it. The right kidney sits dorsal and coddle to the right side of the liver. The stomach sits ventral on the left side. The duodenum and right limb of the pancreas are coddle to the liver. Between the right and left sides sits the gallbladder. It is situated between the quadrate lobe and the right medial lobe. The connection between these two lobes is wide in the cat when compared to the dog. The right lateral lobe is tucked under the right medial lobe and is difficult to see without moving the medial lobe out of the way. The codate process of the codate lobe covers the cranial aspect of the right kidney in the dorsal aspect of the abdomen. The left lobes are divided into the left medial lobe and the left lateral lobe. The papillary process is a small process of the codate lobe that sits on the left side of the gallbladder by the left lateral lobe. The gallbladder, usually a bluish color, is discolored in this cadaver. The cystic duct connects the gallbladder to the common bile duct. The common bile duct travels through the mesodudinum and pancreas to open on the duodenum papilla in the lumen of the duodenum. The portal vein begins after the pancreatic code to a denil, splenic, and gastric veins join. It divides into lober branches supplying each of the liver lobes.
