The falciform ligament separates the<u> a. right and left lobes of the liver.</u>

Explanation:

The falciform ligament is a ligament that attaches the liver to the front body wall, and separates the liver into the left medial lobe and left lateral lobe.
The falciform ligament is a broad and thin peritoneal ligament. It is sickle shaped and a remnant of the ventral mesentery of the fetus.
The falciform ligament droops down from the hilum of the liver.
It contains between its layers a small but variable amount of fat and its free edge contains the obliterated umbilical vein and if present, the falciform artery and paraumbilical veins.
The falciform ligament divides the left and right subphrenic compartments but may still allow passage of fluid from one to the other.
The falciform ligament stretches obliquely from the front to the back of the abdomen, with one surface in contact with the peritoneum behind the right rectus abdominis muscle and the diaphragm, and the other in contact with the left lobe of the liver.

Failure in a particular structure of the heart tends to cause a backup of blood in the lungs, known as pulmonary congestive hear

xeze [42]

Answer:

Left ventricle.

Explanation:

Human heart is divided into four chambers - two auricles and two ventricles. Heart acts as the pumping organ and carries both oxygenated and deoxygenated blood in the right and left ventricles.

The failure of functioning of any chamber of heart may cause a particular disease in the individuals. The pulmonary congestive heart failure occurs due to the failure of the left ventricles of the heart. The left ventricle carries blood from heart to the body tissues, its failure leads to the backup of blood in the lungs.

Thus, the answer is left ventricle.
