The liver, a vital organ, performs over 500 functions, including:

1. Metabolism: Processes carbohydrates, proteins, and fats; regulates blood sugar by storing and releasing glucose.

2. Detoxification: Breaks down toxins, drugs, and alcohol for safe elimination.

3. Bile Production: Produces bile to aid fat digestion and absorption in the intestines.

4. Protein Synthesis: Makes essential proteins like albumin (maintains fluid balance) and clotting factors.

5. Storage: Stores vitamins (A, D, E, K), minerals (iron, copper), and glycogen for energy.

6. Immune Function: Filters blood, removes bacteria, and supports immune responses.

It maintains homeostasis, supports digestion, and protects against toxins, with damage potentially leading to severe health issues.
