The liver de-toxifies all of the blood that carries absorbed nutrients from the digestive system.
The liver is the largest internal organ in the body. It produces urea, a nitrogenous waste, by breaking down excess amino acids. Other functions of the liver include the removal of poisons, such as alcohol, from the blood and the storage of extra sugar in the form of animal starch (glycogen).
