Triangular ligament
Triangular Ligament is a term used in the field of anatomy to describe two different ligaments found in the human body. One is located in the liver, while the other is found in the wrist.
Triangular Ligament of the Liver[edit | edit source]
The Triangular Ligament of the Liver is a fold of peritoneum that helps to secure the liver to the diaphragm and the abdominal wall. It is divided into two parts: the left triangular ligament and the right triangular ligament.
The Left Triangular Ligament is smaller and attaches the left lobe of the liver to the diaphragm. The Right Triangular Ligament is larger and attaches the right lobe of the liver to the diaphragm and the abdominal wall.
Triangular Ligament of the Wrist[edit | edit source]
The Triangular Ligament of the Wrist, also known as the Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex (TFCC), is a complex structure located on the ulnar side of the wrist. It serves as a major stabilizer of the ulnar carpus.
The TFCC is composed of several structures including the articular disc, the meniscus homologue, the ulnar collateral ligament, and the dorsal and palmar radioulnar ligaments. It plays a crucial role in the rotation and stability of the wrist.
