The round ligament of the liver is a fibrous remnant of the umbilical vein, which is a fetal structure that carries oxygenated blood from the placenta to the liver. After birth, the umbilical vein is no longer needed and it becomes a fibrous cord, which is the round ligament of the liver. The round ligament of the liver is located on the anterior surface of the liver, and it runs from the umbilicus to the liver.
