Can eating too much potassium cause damage to the liver?
No. Potassium, sodium and chloride all work together to maintain the bodies fluid pH levels, muscle contraction and relaxation and the maintenance of nerve transmission and function. Deficiency in either of these usually tend to address hypertension, difficulty digesting (chloride deficiency with hydrochloric acid as its component) and heart/kidney damage.

Glycogen is the long-term energy storage for animals and most of an animals energy is exerted through motility or muscle movement so it would only make sense for glycogen to be broken down (through hydrolosis) where it was most needed; in the muscles.
How does the liver help the body?
The liver has over 200 functions in the human body. It converts nutrients to other forms, processes substances to be released in the blood, metabolizes harmful chemicals and stores an array of nutrients. The liver is one of your largest and heaviest organs contains an bladder which stores a juice called gall bladder.The juice is known as bile juice. Liver secrets the bile juice from a tube called bile duct and is mixed with the food
What is the causes of liver problem?
This is not a complete list by any means but at least here are the worst problems that could potentially lead to death(definitions not included): Liver failure, cirrhosis of the liver, jaundice(often related to hepatitis), hepatitis (A, B, C, and E, but D is not considered a major problem), and cancer. Due to the fact that the liver can actually regenerate, or heal itself, when symptoms of any of these diseases are present that means that the disease is in its advanced stages.
What role do the lungs have in the excretory system?
Excretion is the removal of waste products made by the body. When you breathe out your lungs are removing waste carbon dioxide made by your cells. This is part of excretion. The carbon dioxide is made by the process of respiration in your cells. Respiration is the release of energy from food. When glucose sugar is respired, energy is released and water and carbon dioxide are produced: glucose + oxygen ---> water + carbon dioxide + ENERGY The oxygen which is used in respiration is taken into the body by the lungs when you breathe. For more about breathing and the respiratory sustem see: http://yucky.discovery.com/flash/body/pg000138.html
The excretory system is not really a true system of the body. It is a function that is shared by several different systems. The lungs excrete mostly carbon dioxide, the GI tract excretes solid wastes as feces, the kidneys excrete urine, and the skin excretes wastes in sweat.
Excretory means basicly to collect waste products and remove it from the body... so when u breath, u breath in O2 (oxygen) and u breath out Co2 (carbon dioxide). so u are removing Co2
Lungs exhale carbon dioxide enriched, moistened, and warmed air which has lost some oxygen to the blood but the lungs also help you move you hand right and left because there is a diaphragm under the lungs that helps control movement. A diaphragm is a large organ that is produced from the brain.The holy pant are right

A pingas is a large pingas that is produced from the pingas. The holy pingas are right
The lungs (and gills) of organisms constantly secrete gaseous wastes from the bloodstream as a regular part of respiration. The lungs, along with the respiratory system as a whole, play a vital role in the removal (via gaseous excretion) of Carbon Dioxide (CO2), a byproduct of cellular respiration and cellular metabolism, among the countless other functions performed by any given cell in any LIVING organism.
The liver is located in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen. In the average adult the liver is the largest organ of the body (excluding the skin). The liver has great regenerating properties (it filters toxins from the body) and is essential for life.
What liquid does the liver produce that helps digestion in the small intestine?
The fluid that starts digestion is saliva. It is not the most important part of the digestive process, but it is the first part. * The part that everyone knows about comes next. When food enters the stomach it contacts pepsin, the most important digestive enzyme. The arrival of food stimulates the stomach to secrete deci-normal hydrochloric acid. This activates the pepsin. * If you have trouble believing this, try an experiment. Next time you get something stuck between your teeth, don't spend five minutes digging it out. Leave it strictly alone. In less than an hour, the saliva in your mouth will have digested enough of the surface of the food particle to make it a loose fit between your teeth, so it falls out.
What does the right lobe of the liver do?
the liver does over 500 different jobs. It removes poisons and damaged red blood cells from the bloodstream, it stores nutrients and makes them into vital substances, it breaks down fat and cholestrol, all sorts!
What role does the liver have in the excretory system?
The liver's main job is to filter toxins from the body, most of which comes from undigestible waste. It also plays a secondary, indirect job as it creates bile, which the body uses to break down fats into usable parts and waste.
What do the digestive secretions from the liver and pancreas empty into?
they don't empty anything- they only secrete liquids that help digest into the small intestine.
Yellowish skin color (jaundice), yellowish color in evacuation of urine or feces, liver that is hardened to the touch, and failure to process bile.

A team of physicians at Emory University during the past two decades has developed a shunt, or a sort of tunnel, leading from the brain to the liver. This is for the purpose of treatment of cirrhosis of the liver. In addition to liver transplants, the shunt has proven very effective in controlling the progress of chirrhosis. However, the patient is not allowed to imbibe any alcohol whatsoever.

How does alcohol cause liver disease?
Drinking alcohol abusively over a period of decades has been implicated statistically with the development of liver cancer.
Interestingly, cancer is much more likely to develop after an alcohol abuser stops drinking. That's because it is during the period that the liver is rapidly regenerating that abnormal cells are more likely to develop.
