The liver is a vital organ present in vertebrates; it has an extensive range of functions, including detoxification, protein synthesis, and production of biochemical necessary for digestion. The liver is essential and necessary for survival; there is currently no way to compensate for the absence of liver function.
This organ 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, hormone production, and detoxification. It lies below the diaphragm in the thoracic area and region of the abdomen. It fabricates and 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 highly specialized tissues, including the synthesis and breakdown of small and complex molecules, many of which are necessary for normal vital functions.
The liver is the largest glandular organ. It is reddish brown organ and part with four lobes of unequal size and shape. The liver is on the right side of the abdominal cavity just below the diaphragm and is connected to two large blood vessels, one called the hepatic artery and one called the portal vein. The hepatic artery carries blood from the aorta whereas the portal vein carries blood containing digested food from the small intestine. These blood vessels subdivide into capillary which then lead and guide to a lobule. Each lobule is made up of hundred and thousands of hepatic cells which are the essential and basic metabolic cells.
Maintain a healthy liver:
It is important to maintain a healthy liver, because serious complications can arise if you develop problems. Certain problems with the liver cannot be prevented, such as those that are caused by inheritance. However, you can take action to prevent other types of liver problems. It is crucial to your long term health to learn to recognize symptoms of liver problems and how to avoid them.
Generally the whole lot and everything you eat, drink, and breathe eventually passes through your body and reaches your liver, even things that are absorbed into your skin. The liver is responsible for controlling your metabolism; this is the process in which your liver breaks down nutrients into energy. The energy is then distributed and delivered to the rest of your body through the bloodstream. It is also the function of the liver to break down toxins into byproducts that are eliminated from the body.
Factors that affect liver:
Alcohol abuse affects our health and our body in a variety of ways. Several keys organs and internal functions can be irreparably damaged because of heavy drinking over an extended period of time. Chief among those areas at risk is the liver – one of our body's most crucial organs. Once the liver is damaged by alcohol, a number of serious health problems can ensue – many of which eventually lead to death. It is vital and important that young people be made aware of the risks to their liver than originate from alcohol abuse.
What happens if the liver fails because of excessive alcohol consumption? The results can be fatal. The liver is a crucial part of our how our body functions. It is responsible for so many vital operations that we cannot live without it. The liver is:
•The largest organ in the human body
•Responsible for most of the blood flow between the intestinal tract to the heart
•The storage area for glycogen – the body's breakdown of sugar which is used to generate energy
•Responsible for breaking down toxins that occur with the body's metabolism.
One of the most prominent warning signs of cirrhosis of the liver is jaundice. Jaundice is characterized by a yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes.
Not only grown-up and older people are candidates for cirrhosis of the liver. Young men just out of their teens (who have already been drinking for years) have practiced and experienced liver failure brought on by cirrhosis of the liver.
