How does the liver help the stomach?

Answer 1

The liver and stomach are two different organs. The liver is not in the stomach.

The liver is a vital organ. It has a wide range of functions, including detoxification, protein synthesis, and production of biochemicals necessary for digestion. The liver is necessary for survival; there is currently no way to compensate for the absence of liver function.

the stomach is a muscular, hollow, dilated part of the alimentary canal which functions as the primary organ of the digestive tract.

Answer 2

The liver has many special features. For example, in order to carry out its secretory functions, ducts (tubes) closely connect it to the gallbladder and intestines. Thus, bile made by the liver travels through these tubes to the gallbladder. The bile is stored in the gallbladder between meals and then is discharged into the intestines at mealtime to aid in digestion.

For another example, the liver is appropriately situated in the body to directly receive the blood that comes from the intestines (portal blood). With this arrangement, the liver can readily process (metabolize) nutrients absorbed from food as well as other contents of the portal blood. Indeed, because of its numerous biochemical functions, the liver is considered the biochemical factory of the body.
