 General Statement

Definition

The liver is the largest and most complex gland in the body, brownish red
in color, which has a variety of functions, including its role in assisting the
digestion of food and metabolism of nutrients in the digestive system. , on both
sides of the top quadrant, most of which are on the right. It weighs 1500 grams
or 2.5% of a normal adult body weight.

Function

The function of the liver is to cleans the blood of harmful dangerous.


from drugs, alcohol, to poison. Then, producing protein, such as albumin, which
functions to maintain fluids in the body's circulatory system. Protein which acts
as a factor for blood clotting and the immune system is also produced by the
liver. protein metabolism by converting ammonia to urea released by urine by
the kidneys. The liver also plays an important role in the process of storing the
body's nutrients.
Parts

The right lobe is the largest part of the liver that is 5 to 6 times bigger than the
left lobe.

The left lobe is the part of the heart that has a pointed and smaller shape than
the right lobe. The left and right lobes are separated by falciform ligaments.

The caudate lobe is smaller than the two previous lobes, located extending from
the back side of the right lobe and enclosing the main vein

The quadrate lobe is lower than the caudate lobe and is located from the back
side of the right lobe to incase the gallbladder. The quadratic and caudate lobes
are rarely seen in the anatomical picture because they are located behind the left
and right lobes.

 Sequence of Explanation
Hemoglobin is reorganized into hemin, iron, and globin.

First of all, hemoglobin is reorganized into hemin, iron, and globin. Iron
and globin are stored in the liver, then sent to the red bone marrow to form new
antibodies or hemoglobin. while the hemin is reorganized into bilirubin and
biliverdin. Both substances then become bile dyes that are blue green.
Kupffer cells in the liver damage red blood cells that are not needed to
hepatocytes.

Hepatocytes metabolize hemoglobin, pigments, red blood cells that carry


oxygen to the heme and globin components. Hepatocytes in the liver are given
work related to metabolism that supports the work of cells in the body.
Digestive schemes break down carbohydrates into glucose monosaccharides,
which are used by cells as the main resource.

Hepatocytes absorb a lot of Glucose

Blood that enters the liver through the hepatic vein portal is glucose-rich
blood from processed foods. Hepatocytes absorb a lot of glucose and store it
into glycogen macromolecules and polysaccharides that make hepatocytes can
put glucose in large quantities and quickly remove glucose between meals.
Absorption and release of glucose by hepatocytes

Absorption and release of glucose by hepatocytes helps in homeostasis


and supervises other limbs with material risk. When blood coming from the
digestive organs through the hepatic flow portal, hepatocytes in the liver
examine the contents of the blood and remove material that has the potential to
have toxins all over the body.

The enzymes in hepatocytes metabolize

The enzymes in hepatocytes metabolize toxins such as alcohol and drugs


so that they will not become active toxins. And so that hormone levels are still
built within the limits of homeostatic, the liver also metabolizes and removes
the flow of hormones produced by the body's glands.
