“Liver”  
Liver Pink   In our body, the Liver is located primarily in the right hypochondriac and epigastric regions of the abdomen, just beneath the diaphragm. The Liver is the largest gland in the body and mainly composed of two epithelial cell types, hepatocytes and ductal cells.
  In our body, the Liver is structurally divided into two major lobes and two smaller lobes, the functional units of the Liver are the Lobules with Sinusoids that carry blood from the periphery to the central vein of the lobule, a healthy liver has 240 billion cells in it. *

“Liver Anatomy”  
Liver And Digestive - 200   In our body, the Liver is a reddish brown organ with four lobes of unequal size and shape. In our body, the Liver normally weighs 3.1-3.5 lb, and is a soft, pinkish-brown, triangular organ. In our body, the Liver is both the largest internal organ (the skin being the largest organ overall) and the largest gland in the human body.
  In our body, the Liver is located in the right upper quadrant of the abdominal cavity, resting just below the diaphragm. The liver lies to the right of the stomach and overlies the gallbladder. The Liver is connected to two large blood vessels, one called the hepatic artery and one called the portal vein. The hepatic artery carries blood from the aorta, whereas the portal vein carries blood containing digested nutrients from the small intestine and the Descending Colon. These blood vessels subdivide into capillaries, which then lead to a lobule. Each lobule is made up of millions of hepatic cells which are the basic metabolic cells. **

“Liver Blood Sources”  
  In our body, the Liver receives blood from two sources. Freshly oxygenated blood is brought to the Liver by the common hepatic artery, a branch of the celiac trunk from the abdominal aorta. Blood that is rich in nutrients from the Digestive Tract is carried to the Liver by the hepatic portal vein. **

“Hepatic Processes (Liver Processes)”  

Liver Processes

  In our body, Hepatic Processes (Liver Processes) are the liver functions many of which are vital to life.

Liver Functions

  Liver functions include the following:
  • Secretion
  • Synthesis Of Bile Salts
  • Synthesis Of Plasma Protein
  • Storage
  • Detoxification
  • Excretion
  • Carbohyrate Metabolism
  • Lipid Metabolism
  • Protein Metabolism
  • Filtering
Hepatocytes perform most of the functions attributed to the Liver, but the phagocytic kupffer cells that line the sinusoids are responsible for cleansing the blood. **
