The liver works by producing bile and removing toxins from the blood. It converts glycose into glycogen and even keeps your body core temperature at 27 degrees celsius. It works with the stomach, gallbladder, and small intestines. If your liver fails, toxins build up in your blood stream and you almost certainly die (without a transplant of course).
