Liver
The liver is the largest solid organ in the body and is extensively supported by a complex fascial and ligamentous system that anchors it to the diaphragm, anterior abdominal wall, and neighbouring structures. Its fascial envelope — the Glisson capsule — transmits tension throughout the hepatic parenchyma and into the peritoneal ligaments, making it a key structure in visceral fascial continuity.
