The liver processes nutrients from the digestive system, converting glucose into glycogen for storage and synthesizing proteins like albumin.
The liver stores essential vitamins and minerals, including iron, copper, fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K), and glycogen for energy.
The liver synthesizes proteins involved in blood clotting, such as fibrinogen and prothrombin, to help stop bleeding after injuries.
The liver contains immune cells called Kupffer cells that help remove bacteria, old blood cells, and other foreign particles from the bloodstream.
The liver filters out toxins and waste products from the blood, converting them into less harmful substances for excretion.
