Liver

No. The gallbladder only stores the bile that is produced in the liver. Your gallbladder only stores the bile. Your liver produces it. Since the bile is required to absorb fats through your intestines among other things you need it to live. Without the storage tank that only holds around a cup, Without it, it will just get secreted right to intestines but its not as effecient that way so you are better off with one but can live without it.

Liver contains large amount of active vitamin A(retinol). A. Squash spinach and other leafy vegetables are rich in Vitamin A but it is in a form of beta-carotene which is safer than Vitamin A Retinol. Our body can produce enough Retinol from Beta-carotene. It is best to eat it in moderation which will not be a problem

The liver is an internal organ which lies in the abdominal cavity of the body of animals. In humans, it is the largest glandular organ of the body, and generally weighs about 3 lb (1.35 kg).

Liver Enzymes are the proteins which mainly help in speeding up chemical reactions with the liver. They perform variety of functions in the body such as filtration, blood cleansing, excretion and metabolism. The liver mainly helps in removing toxins from the body. It also makes proteins which help in clotting of the blood. When liver enzymes are elevated , it is a sign of liver impairment which needs immediate attention. Some of the causes for elevated liver enzymes are:

Fatty Liver

Herbal Toxicity

Alcohol Abuse

Congestive Heart Failure

Well, the gallbladder is attached to the liver via the hepatic duct. www.undergradanatomy.com/.../liver/default.asp

A very wide range of tasks. It's the body's primary chemical-plant, especially converting nutrients from food to compounds needed for the body's various functions, controlling the levels of sugars and fats in the bloodstream, generating heat.

Because ethanol (alcohol) is converted to fat in the liver, where it is then stored. Eventually, fatty liver leads to cirrhosis of the liver. Continued drinking may result in unpleasant death.

Answer2:Ethanol, the chemical compound present is most alcoholic drinks, is a neurotoxin-that is, a substance that can damage or destroy the nervous system. Someone who is drunk is in fact suffering from a form of poisoning. In large quantities ethanol causes coma and death. Prolonged exposure to alcohol damages the liver in three stages. During the first stage, the breaking down of ethanol slows the digestion of fats, causing them to build up in the liver. This is called steatohepatitis, or fatty liver.

In time, chronic inflammation of the liver, or hepatitis sets in. While alcohol can cause hepatitis directly, it also appears to lower the body's resistance to hepatitis B and hepatitis C viruses. If unchecked, inflammation causes cells to burst and die. Compounding this damage, alcohol seems to trigger the natural system of programmed cell death called apoptosis. The final stage is cirrhosis. This vicious cycle of continuous inflammation and cell destruction cause irreversible scarring. Eventually, the liver becomes lumpy, instead of remaining spongy. Finally, scar tissue prevents blood from flowing normally, leading to liver failure and death. (taken from 10/08/05 Awake magazine on Jehovah's Witnesses official website)

I do not know about that, but "Milk Thistle" a herb or plant is a fantastic thing used to clean the liver and help it function normally. You can buy this at wAL-mART. It is good for detoxification and bringing the liver to proper function.

The liver is part of the digestive system because it gets rid of toxins in your blood. It also works hand in hand with the circulatory system because blood is pumped through it.

The liver is thought to be responsible for up to 500 separate functions, usually in combination with other systems and organs.

- The breakdown of insulin and other hormones

- The liver glucoronidates bilirubin, facilitating its excretion into bile

- The liver breaks down or modifies toxic substances and most medicinal products in a process called drug metabolism

- The liver converts ammonia to urea

Heroin can basically harm every major organ in your body, skin, and other parts that can't be mentioned.

--

No, heroin itself, and other opiates are not harmful to the liver, nor to any other organ of the body. Opiates like heroin are some of the most studied drugs we have, and have been shown to be quite harmless at normal dosages, even for chronic use.

The harms that some addicts experience come mainly from improper or long-term injection practices, re-use of needles which become dull or barbed, impurities, and variable and unknowable potency. Other harms result from poor nutrition and hygiene, which themselves are the result of the vastly over-inflated prices paid on the black market. Almost all the harm associated with heroin use is a direct or indirect consequence of prohibition, rather than from the drug itself.

The liver sends bile to the small intestine. Bile contains bile salts, which emulsify fats, making them susceptible to enzymatic breakdown.

The job of the digestive tract is to break down the food we eat and prepare it for absorption, then to carry out the absorption. Fat entering the small intestine is mixed with bile acids-made in the liver-that emulsify the fat, making it better able to be further broken down with lipases, enzymes that break it apart into its component fatty acids. The bile acids-fatty acid emulsified combo forms into micelles, molecules that allow the fat to be absorbed into the cells lining the small intestine. The bile acids then break off and recirculate back to the liver.

Lab results should be interpreted by your doctor. There are many things that can affect the results of lab tests and make them high or low. It is best to have your doctor check your liver with blood tests and make a determination.

An ultrasound indicates whether they is any/how much scarring there is of the liver. (The more "echo" that comes back from the liver, the more scarred it is). An ultra sound also shows up whether the liver is enlarged (a sign that it is trying to repair itself from something) or has any abnormalities on it. It's the easiest non-invasive investigative procedure.

Since amphibians evolved from fish and fish have one air bladder (or swim bladder), frogs have 1 lung. The air bladder evolved into a lung. Remember, frogs are also able to breathe through their skin.

Seeking help from a doctor to both diagnose and treat fatty liver is paramount, but one can also make healthy choices in their diet to aid in overcoming a fatty liver. Plenty of water, fruits, and vegetables help to nourish and cleanse the body and aid all of the organs from the inside out.

It depends on the local climate, and exactly what you mean by "shelter".

In some climates, there's no real reason you shouldn't be able to survive indefinitely without shelter.

WELL the digestive system does absolutly nothin =). to keep your body healthy eat junk food and ice cream. ice cream is dairy products which are healthy, and potato chips are vegetables! see? healthy

The liver is your body's filter mechanism. In long term alcoholics the liver can fail leaving impurities to flow through the bloodstream. This then leads to kidney failure.

The most important thing to know is that alcoholism stop the livers' production of vitamin K, the clottong mechanism in the blood. This means that if one bleeds internally or externally, the stopping of blood loss is difficult and can be a futile effort.

It is basically an extra collection of pigment. It occurs mainly in sun exposed areas. There is no need to worry about it, once it has been diagnosed as a liver splash, but if you have a lesion that is rapidly growing, has irregular borders, is elevated, or has changed in color, then you need to go to a doctor to get it distinguished from skin cancer.

There is a wide variety of causes for elevated liver enzymes (commonly, although incorrectly, called liver function tests, or LFTs). Elevated LFTs can only be interpreted in the context of a full clinical history -- that means that only a trained health care provider can determine the underlying cause of elevated LFTs in a particular individual. An important fact to remember is that while lab results (eg, elevated LFTs) are important in medicine, lab results alone are very infrequently diagnostic of a particular condition. When analyzed by trained personnel, they aid tremendously in reaching a diagnosis, but they absolutely never replace a proper clinical history. That means that for us patients, we cannot expect solid answers to questions like "why do I have elevated LFTs?" unless we ask our physicians. The only thing we can gain from asking perfect strangers questions like this is that we get a better understanding for what the tests mean and why they must be interpreted in such a way. Hopefully I can help illustrate this. The major liver enzymes measured in an LFT analysis are serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP). ALT and AST are markers of injury to liver cells, while ALP is a marker of injury to the system of bile ducts that drain bile from the liver (also called the biliary tree). Liver and biliary tree damage are the most common causes of elevated LFTs, although other seemingly unrelated conditions can cause elevated LFTs as well. For example, hypothyroidism can cause elevated LFTs for unknown reasons. Viral and alcoholic hepatitis are among the most common causes of liver injury; these result in elevated LFTs, with ALT and AST being elevated to a greater degree than ALP. There are many other conditions that cause a similar elevation in LFTs; this underscores the importance of evaluating high LFTs in the proper clinical context (ie, with your physician). Elevated LFTs with a predominant rise in ALP is suggestive of damage or obstruction of the biliary tree (which disrupts the flow of bile out of the liver, called cholestasis). There are a number of conditions that can cause this, including a stone in the common bile duct (choledocholithiasis), cancer of the head of the pancreas, primary sclerosing cholangitis, primary biliary cirrhosis, and many others. The preceding list isn't meant to frighten you; it's merely to illustrate the wide variety of causes of cholestasis. On the other hand, one's LFTs may be elevated without any clinical significance. Yes, this is yet another reason to have one's test results evaluated by a physician. Again, it's absolutely fine -- indeed, it's preferred! -- that you ask these sorts of questions to your physician. Only she is able to answer your question adequately, with a strong understanding of your clinical presentation, past medical history, social history, etc.
