Technically the liver comes into play after digestion. It filters your blood and tries to maintain the correct levels of many substances. This is called "homeostasis".
The liver helps metabolize a huge number of things, as well as detoxify substances that would otherwise be poisonous.
Most things you can look up and find out is the liver is involved. Prescription drugs will tell you if they are metabolized by the liver or not.
The liver secretes bile. Bile is a greenish yellow liquid stored in the gall bladder. Bile is alkaline and contains salts which help to emulsify or break down the fats present in the food. The two functions of bile are - :
1.Makes the acidic food alkaline so that pancreatic enzymes can act on it.
2.Bile salts break the fats present in the food into small globules making it easy for enzymes to act and digest them.
The liver is useful in many ways and needs to be treated right with no harm.
