The right lobe contains the anterior and posterior segments. In liver anatomy, the liver is divided into functional segments based on the branching of the portal triad and hepatic veins, and the right lobe itself is split into an anterior group (segments V and VIII) and a posterior group (segments VI and VII). The caudate and quadrate lobes are separate regions on the inferior/posterior surface and do not form these anterior/posterior divisions. So the lobe that houses the anterior and posterior segments is the right lobe.
