It is the main organ of detoxification and it effectively handle it, unless it is too big like deliberate organophosphorus poisoning.This is called as first pass metabolism. Remaining portion which is not handled in first pass metabolism, is handled subsequently after blood comes to it via hepatic artery. It has got cells from lymphatic system to defend against any microbes, invading the portal vein. This is how it defend your body.
