The liver is in a stomach cavity under a diaphragm, at the same time playing a role of a digestive organ, blood circulation and also a metabolism. It carries out a huge number of the vital physiological functions and therefore is the only body in a human body which functioning cannot be executed in the artificial way throughout a long time.
Instruction
1. One of the main functions of a liver – an organism deintoksikation. In gipototsita (cages from which the liver consists) every minute there are millions of chemical reactions which essence in neutralization more than 20 million alien substances (ksenobolik) getting into a human body. The liver processes various allergens, poisons, toxins, turning them into the harmless or less toxic connections which are easier brought out of an organism. It saves a human body from the toxic intermediate and final products of a metabolism, such as phenol, ethanol, ammonia, acetone and ketone acids.
2. The liver actively participates in all types of a metabolism and metabolism. Besides, it is also digestive gland, producing hormones and enzymes and also the bilious acids necessary for digestion and assimilation of fats.
3. One more important function of this body – synthesis of nutritious and protective substances, carbohydrates and also proteins which are responsible for fibrillation. In a liver there is the major process – gluconeogenesis which consists in converting of free fatty acids, amino acids, lactic acid, glycerin, etc. power sources in glucose. The body is responsible for synthesis of cholesterol and its air, lipids and phospholipids and also for regulation of lipidic exchange.
4. The liver executes important hormonal function, neutralizing and deleting excess of hormones from a human body. Violation of this process, for example, in a male body can become the ginekomastiya reason – manifestations of obvious female forms. Failure of function of an inactivation of men's hormones in a female body is also fraught with serious consequences.
5. In this body there is a metabolism and storage of vitamins, folic acid and also a number of minerals – cations of iron, copper, cobalt. Besides, the liver is some kind of storage for the considerable volume of blood which can be thrown out in an organism at strong blood losses.
