Liver

I am in nursing school, so this is my understanding of the liver. The liver is a large, vital organ that plays an active role in digestion/ metabolism and our circulatory system. It produces an enzyme called bile which helps with digestion of fats, but I think its most important role is the how it filters our blood of toxins. An instructor described it as a "pool filter, but for the body." We don't really worry about the pool filter when its working, but when it stops working the pool gets green, slimy, and smelly and then we know there is a problem. The liver is our filter and if it were not functioning properly we too would have the same problems... our bilirubin (which is dead red blood cells that are filtered by and excreted through the liver) then back up throughout the body and turn our skin a yellow or more bronze color referred to as jaundice. Also certain electrolytes and vitamins are absorbed and excreted through it so there would be an imbalance of them in a blood lab test. A good article to read about the liver was found in "Nursing Made Incredibly Easy" I don't remember which one, but you can google it and search liver on the website. I hope that helped.

The liver is the largest internal organ in the human body, and is an organ present in vertebrates and some other animals. It plays a major role in metabolism and has a number of functions in the body, including glycogen storage, decomposition of red blood cells, plasma protein synthesis, and detoxification. This organ also is the largest gland in the human body. It lies below the diaphragm in the thoracic region of the abdomen. It produces bile, an alkaline compound which aids in digestion, via the emulsification of lipids. It also performs and regulates a wide variety of high-volume biochemical reactions requiring very specialized tissues. Medical terms related to the liver often start in hepato- or hepatic from the Greek word for liver, hēpar Liver also plays main role in medicines metbolism etc.

Liver S9 fractions are subcellular fractions that contain drug-metabolizing enzymes including the cytochromes P450, flavin monooxygenases, and UDP glucuronyl transferases. Liver S9 fractions are a major tool for studying xenobiotic metabolism.

Drinking too much of any form of alcoholic beverages over a long enough period of time increases the risk of damaging the liver by causing scar tissue that reduces the ability of that organ to perform its functions.

Because the extraction site in the mouth is healing, and the liver clot is a way of healing it.

It is actually "chopped liver," which is a Jewish delicacy. It often sounds like "chop liver" when used in the expression "What am I, chopped liver?"

Urea is made from ammonia filtered out of the blood by the nephrons in the kidney. As ammonia is a highly toxic substance to humans, and humans have moderate water supplies, it undergoes multiple chemical reactions to convert from ammonia to urea which is diluted to urine and excreted out of the urethra.

from the blood, into the kidneys, into the NEPHRONS:

okay so the blood flows through capillaries called the GLOMERIUS (spelling...?) where blood pressure squeezes it out into the the bowl the glomerius is in called BOWMAN's CAPSULE. through the proximal tubule, loop of henle, distal tubule, collecting duct into the RENAL PELVIS thorough the URETER to the BLADDER down through the URETHRA

No, insulin stimulates the liver to produce glycogen from glucose. Glucagon mobilizes liver glycogen to yield glucose.

A large liver is simply a liver that is abnormally big compared to the size of your body. It is the same as an enlarged liver.

Bilirubin is a normal component of the body. It is not a condition that requires treatment.

Pale Urine and Dark Stool - On account of misplaced Bilirubins.

Jaundice (Yellow skin, eyes, gums) on account of liver not being able to purify certain enzymes.

Abdominal pain.

There are some more depending on the specific disease, but those are the four main ones.

It damages the liver,kidney heart & lung and causes cancer.

Yes. In an individual, almost all cells contain DNA (Red Blood Cells do not). That DNA is tightly wound like you would twist a drawstring, and kept tightly coiled as chromosomes. Since chromosomes can be found in a cheek cell, a liver cell (hepatocyte), and almost all other cells, they all contain the same chromosomes, which inevitably have the same genes. What makes cheek cells different from liver cells is which genes are turned on and off. Cheek cells have different genes turned on compared to liver cells.

Hydrogen peroxide is unstable. It wants to break down. And when hydrogen peroxide breaks down spontaneously, it breaks down into water and oxygen according to this formula: 2H2O2 => 2H2O + O2 But when hydrogen peroxide comes into contact with anything, the "extra" oxygen atom is "looking for a new home" in a chemical sense, and it will react directly with whatever it can (according to chemical principles) to form a new compound. This at the heart of oxidation and it is what makes H2O2 an oxidizer. The reaction and the end products will depend on what the H2O2 comes into contact with, but water will be one of the things produced. The question is what did the oxygen do? Anything on tooth enamel that the oxygen can react with will be oxidized, and this will "remove" a lot of the stuff and "whiten" the teeth. We know that H2O2 is very reactive and is a powerful oxidizer. That's the nature of its chemistry.

Risk is increased if there is cirrhosis, for example alcoholic or viral hepatitis related.

The liver aids in digestion by delivering bile to the duodenum (the first portion of the small intestine) through the hepatic duct which feeds then into the common bile duct.

The actual food does not pass through the liver. However, the veins from the gastrointestinal-tract lead directly to the liver.
