Principle
The liver is the central organ of human and animal
metabolism. It influences, for example, the blood sugar level,
synthesizes various blood proteins, and decomposes toxic metabolic
products and other toxicants taken up with the food. The bile which
the liver produces accumulates in the gallbladder and is discharged
into the intestines when needed. It emulsifies dietary fat. The
human liver is a very large organ weighing approx. 1,500 g and lies
on the right side of the abdomen, directly under the
diaphragm.
