Q

List 10 functions of liver

A
  1. Conversion excess glucose into glycogen and vica versa in need.
    Gluconeogenezis.
  2. Progressing hemoglobin for use of its iron, storing iron and cupper.
  3. Production of bile which helps
    carry away waste (ie. bilirubin) and break down fats in the small
    intestine during digestion.
  4. Production and conversion of signal
    molecules and hormones.
    (erytropoetin, angiotensinogen, hepcidin, IGF1,2, trijodtyronin).
  5. Resisting infections by producing immune factors and removing
    bacteria from the bloodstream.
  6. Clearing the blood of drugs and other
    poisonous substances. Conversion of poisonous ammonia tourea.
  7. Production of plazma proteins (albumin, fibrinogen, blood coagulation factors, transferrin).
  8. Regulation of blood levels of amino acids.
  9. Organization of lipid metabolism production of cholesterol.
  10. Storage of vitamins (A, B12, folic acid).
