This comprehensive overview explores the critical functions of the liver, including its role in blood circulation and nutrient regulation. We analyze the process of egestion, identifying materials that are not absorbed and are subsequently expelled from the body. Detailed animations and diagrams illustrate the circulation of blood through liver tissues, highlighting the hepatic artery, hepatic portal vein, sinusoids, and hepatic vein. Understanding these concepts is essential for grasping the liver's contributions to overall bodily health and homeostasis.
