The Liver is a significant internal body organ that works 24 hours a day to ensure that the body remains healthy. Weighing in at a little more than one kilogram, it is the largest internal organ, as well as the largest gland of the body. It processes virtually everything one eats, drinks, breathes in or rubs on their skin. In fact, the liver performs over 500 functions that are vital to life.
It is located below our diaphragm, behind the right ribs, in close proximity to the gall bladder and the stomach. It is a firm, toned mass of fragile dark red tissue that is enveloped by the Glisson’s capsule, which protects it. Its tissues are irrigated by a complex network of blood vessels reaching deep inside its core. The two distinct systems of circulation are the portal system which brings blood to the liver from the intestines, and the systemic circulation that brings blood to the liver from the heart. It also has regenerative properties.
