Heya

________________________________

Liver is called as metabolic factory because it performs many functions.Such as

  1. Production of bile, which helps carry away waste and break down fats in the small intestine during digestion
  2. Production of certain proteins for blood plasma

3.Production of cholesterol and special proteins to help carry fats through the body

4.Store and release glucose as needed

5.Processing of hemoglobin for use of its iron content (the liver stores iron)

6.Conversion of harmful ammonia to urea (urea is one of the end products of protein metabolism that is excreted in the urine)

7.Clearing the blood of drugs and other harmful substances

8.Regulating blood clotting.
