Anatomy and Function of the Human Liver The liver is a vital organ that manages metabolism, detoxifies harmful substances, and processes nutrients. It has right and left lobes and receives blood from the hepatic portal vein (nutrient-rich) and hepatic artery (oxygen-rich), draining into the inferior vena cava. The liver produces bile, stored in the gallbladder, to help digest fats. It acts as the body’s main chemical processing and detox center. #LiverHealth #HumanAnatomy #DigestiveSystem #Metab
