The liver is called the biochemical factory of the body. Because the liver does many important chemical jobs that help the body stay healthy. For example:

1. Helps with digestion – The liver makes bile, which helps break down fats.

2. Makes proteins – It creates important proteins like albumin and clotting factors that help blood clot.

3. Stores and releases energy – It stores sugar as glycogen and changes it back to glucose when the body needs energy.

4. Removes harmful substances – The liver cleans out toxins like alcohol or drugs from the blood.

5. Stores vitamins and hormones – It keeps vitamins like A, D, and B12 for later use.

6. Processes fats and amino acids – It helps the body use and manage fats and building blocks of protein.
