Hepatic cells are the workhorse cells of the liver - they work to biotransform toxic substances into hopefully less toxic and more secretable substances (so that they can be eliminated from the body through the feces or urine). The liver cells also build and release a variety of very important proteins into the blood stream, including albumin and several clotting proteins.

Liver tissue is made up of two types of cells: karat parenchymal and non-parenchymal cells. The karat parenchymal cells are known as hepatocytes. There are several types of non-parenchymal cells: Sinusoidal hepatic endothelial cells, Kupffer cells and hepatic stellate cells. The liver has a number of functions, including synthesizing hormones and breaking down substances for metabolization by the body's various systems.
What are the functions of hepatocytes?
Hepatocytes are the cells responsible for most of the main functions of the liver.

Hepatocytes are amazingly diverse cells that carry out a huge range of functions, just some of which are mentioned above.
