Liver
The liver is a vital organ located in the upper right part of the abdominal cavity. It has many critical functions including filtering toxins that we ingest as food or medication; synthesizing proteins needed for proper blood clotting and proper nutrition; producing bile that is needed to aid in digestion of fats. It is made up of cells called hepatocytes as well as branches of the portal vein, hepatic artery and numerous bile ducts.
