It is located on the surface of the abdominal cavity, just below the diaphragm on the right, on the side of the stomach above the duodenum. Location of the gallbladder at the bottom of the liver. Adult males weigh about 1.5 kg. It is again divided into six parts - and made up of tiny lobules. The hepatic arteries of the liver supply oxygen-rich blood from the heart, while the portal veins from the intestines and spleen to the digestive tract deliver chemicals to the liver for filtering and de-toxification at the end of the digestive process - ie proteins, cholesterol, and animals. As part of the portal vein and the liver's own work, the liver helps produce bile juices in the gallbladder, providing the chemicals and proteins it needs to produce starch.

Bilurubin is made by breaking down the hemoglobin in the blood that enters the body through these portal veins and is processed by the liver and converted into bile juice into the intestine. From the intestine it is excreted out of the body with the help of feces. Some of it goes back into the bloodstream from the intestines and is excreted out of the body through the kidneys. Jaundice is when bilirubin does not reach the liver and spreads in the blood for any reason (you can think of any liver problem, which we call jaundice).

Liver Functions - To store Vitamins A, D, E, K, B12 and Iron and - to store glucose as glycogen - to make bilirubin in the gallbladder Helping quickly - Maintaining blood glucose balance - Purifying the chemicals and other substances that are produced in the body by drugs and other chemicals.

(Many people think that blood is made in the liver, which is not true at all - blood is made in the bone marrow cells of the bone, but the liver plays a special role in nourishing the blood and making plasma cells)
