Answer:

Although the rat liver is typically lobated2 and its ap- pearance does not resemble that of the human liver, the hepatic lobes of the rat liver have been found to be equivalent to the sectors of the human liver. As rats and humans belong to the class Mammalia, similar em- bryological development is expected.
