Liver

The liver recycles the heme component of the hemoglobin molecule salvaged during destruction of red blood cells by the spleen.

Many folks eat liver. It can be fairly healthy to eat depending on how it is cooked. Obviously, if it is fried in a lot of grease, it won't be the most healthy. A lot of people who eat liver prefer chicken liver over beef liver, while others like both almost equally. The nice think about beef liver, if you like it, is that you get more of it.

No, the liver however does produce bile, which is sent into the duodenum(1st part of the small intestine). Bile acts mechanically to emulsify fats, that is to say it separates the fat into smaller pieces so that it has a higher Surface area to volume ratio (SA:V).

Lipids(fat) are "broken down" into glycerol and fatty acids by Lipase, lipase is an enzyme that is excreted into the duodenum by the pancreas.

So, Bile separates fat and makes many small pieces of fat. Then lipase turns those small pieces into glycerol and fatty acids.

you die a slow and painful death!!

Kuffper cells? These are the fixed macrophages ...

Otherwise you may mean hepatocytes in the liver lobules. These contain many microvilli and carrier proteins facing the space of disse for nutrient exchange.

Spots on the liver can be signs of several conditions, including, but not limited to, Liver Cancer, Granuloma, Liver Adenoma, or Hemangioma. Of these, Liver Cancer is the most serious and life threatening possible cause of spots on the liver. Spots resulting from Granuloma are the cause of inflamed tissue resulting from infections involving the liver, such as tuberculosis. Liver Adenoma is a noncancerous tumor that most frequently affects women taking oral contraceptives. Hemangiomas are also a type of noncancerous liver tumor that are composed of abnormal blood vessels that form while in the womb, though they can appear at any age and are rarely a cause of symptoms.

Depends on if you're talking about a newborn or an adult. Newborns have a higher normal range than adults. For instance, in Colorado we establish a certain range from the normal population that may differ from the rest of the nation. Adults can run up to 1.0 mg/dl. Anything from 0 to 1.0 mg/dl is considered normal. 1.5 mg/dl is high and may require additional lab work or other studies to determine the cause of the high bilirubin. The physician may request that the lab break the bilirubin test down into direct vs. indirect bilirubin. Direct bilirubin is a measure of how much of the bilirubin is not soluble and therefore not excreted in the urine. Sunlight can actually "conjugate the bilirubin" to make it more soluble in the urine and therefore excretable in the urine. This is why they put babies with "jaundice" or high bilirubin under bili lights. Bili lights will help turn the unconjugated biliruben into soluble biliruben which can then be excreted in the urine. Increased bilirubin in adults can point to several disease states like cirrhosis of the live due to viral hepatitis, alcoholism or other factors. Very high bilirubin levels in infants can cause brain damage, so treatment like exchange transfusion may be in order.

Yes it will. It can cause lots of MORE problems than just liver. !

The liver products bile, an alkaline compound which aids in digestion, via the emulsification of lipids.The liver is also the only organ that destructs cholesterol.

Maybe and maybe not, but either way, he is not going to call the police on you. It's better to be honest with your doctor than risk a problem because you didn't say anything.

you freeze it

That is usually called a gall bladder.

In most UK liver transplant centres, it is not considered "routine" practice to do a liver biopsy several weeks after transplant if the patient has a normal liver function. However some centres will offer a liver biopsy at 3 year, 5 year and/or 10 year intervals, regardless of how good the liver function happens to be.

Within several weeks of transplant the possibility of liver rejection is highest, so if rejection is even at all to be suspected of occurring a biopsy will be taken pretty swiftly.

There is just isn't one main function of the liver. You can't live without it.
The liver is a metabolically active organ responsible for many vital life functions. The primary functions of the liver are:
Bile production and excretion
Excretion of bilirubin, cholesterol, hormones, and drugs Metabolism of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates
Enzyme activation Storage of glycogen, vitamins, and minerals
Synthesis of plasma proteins, such as albumin, and clotting factors
Blood detoxification and purification

a duck has been fed until its liver expands to twice to three times its normal size and then it is butcher. The fragua is the liver.

Every individual is different. Someone can smoke and drink all their lives and live to a ripe old age and scientists have no idea why. For the most part you know drinking heavy or smoking heavy (the two together is like TNT) then you know you have to change your habits. You riding on borrowed time and when you start getting older it catches up with you. Everything in moderation!

The liver is important in removing dead red blood cells because it breaks the dead red blood cells into bilirubin which is coverted to bile and stored in the gall bladder and ferratin which is converted to iron and stored in the liver

We use Tru-cut in surgery. (I'm a P.A.)

It has to be the right blood type and size of the person.

the stomach, liver and intestine all stretches except the heart which beat or rather pumps.

The process of enzymatic oxidation and glucuronidation generally accomplishes this.

It filters and processes liquids and solids.
