The liver serves to detoxify blood, to synthesize protein, and to produce certain biochemicals and enzymes necessary for digestion.

In the digestive system specifically, the liver serves to store glycogen, vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin B12, iron, and copper. It also breaks down toxic substances, turning them into proteins that can be excreted safely, and produces bile, a substance that facilitates digestion of lipids (fats) in the intestine.
