the liver

The liver is our largest internal organ and only internal organ that will regenerate itself if part of it is damaged. Up to 25% of the liver can be removed, and within a short period of time, it will grow back to its original shape and size. The liver has many functions; one of them is the secretion of bile. Bile is stored in the gallbladder and released as needed for digestion. Bile is necessary for digestion of fats; it breaks fat down into soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K) and helps to assimilate calcium. In addition, bile converts beta-carotene into vitamin A. The liver also combines toxic substances such as metabolic waste products, insecticide residues, drugs, alcohol and other harmful chemicals with substances that are less toxic. These substances are then excreted via the kidneys and bowel function. The liver also breaks down hormones like adrenaline, aldosterone, estrogen and insulin after they have performed their needed actions.
