The liver is a glandular organ that filters out the blood from poisons created during digestion. It also helps destroy old and tired red blood cells so that they can be recycled and used for later. The liver creates a green substance called bile which helps in the digestion of fats or liquids. The bile is moved up to your gall bladder after it is created in the liver. Then, liver will also create digestive enzymes that help break down food and other things. This process is called chemical digestion. It is not only the largest solid organ in the body but also the largest gland.

It's all about surface area to volume ratio.
The More surface area you have to volume ratio, the quicker the reaction.
(smaller bits of grind up liver, will produce a quicker reaction)
and vise versa.

In a human being, absolutely. The liver is the only organ that can re-generate itself so there are two options for transplant. 1. a living donor gives a small part of their liver (which grows back in a few months) to a patient that has had their own diseased liver removed, (the piece of the liver put into the patient who has had their liver removed grows and therefore it is as if the patient had an entire liver given to them). Sometimes the patient cannot use this option, so they must receive an entire liver from a deceased donor.
