What role does the Liver play in the Digestive System?
Flexi Says:
The liver has numerous major functions, including secreting bile for digestion of lipids, synthesizing many proteins and other compounds, storing glycogen and other substances, and secreting endocrine hormones. Some of the important hormones synthesized by the liver include angiotensinogen, insulin like growth factor - 1, thrombopoietin, hepcidin and betatrophin. In addition to all of these functions, the liver is a very important organ of excretion.
