How does your liver work?

* The liver is the largest organ in the body weighing between 1.36 and 1.81 kg. Your liver works in many ways. You eat protein in various forms both vegetarian and animal in origin and form raw proteins. the liver has to create proteins acceptable to the body by first breaking them down and then actually re-building them.

   The liver also makes certain proteins , such as the blood clotting protein fibrogen. The liver turns carbohydrates into two forms. one is instant energy in the form of glucose and the other is stored energy in the form of glycogen. the liver produces a hormone, which can store access sugar present in the blood as glycogen.

    Fats are turned by the liver into forms, which deposit under the skin and act as insulation and shock absorber. Bile is a thick yellow or greenish fluid made in liver.

   It neutralizes the acidity of partly digested food in the intestine, so that enzymes can continue to work in the intestine. the liver is also a storage organ. Several vitamins, iron removed from blood pigment ect., are stored in the liver. The liver also neutralizes poisons and wastes.
