Abstract
The three liver segments are each separated into smaller areas according to the branching pattern of the tertiary branch. The area fed by each of the tertiary branches is called a “cone unit”. The base of each cone unit lies on the surface of the liver and the apex lies in the origin of these tertiary branches.
