Digestive Function of the Liver

　　Sometimes referred to as the great chemical factory of the body, the liver creates, regulates, and stores a variety of substances used by the gastrointestinal system, and it serves a number of important digestive functions.

　　The main digestive chemical synthesized by the liver is bile. During a meal, bile is secreted¹ by liver cells and travels through the hepatic duct system into the small intestine² where it is used to break down fat molecules³.

　　Between meals, bile is stored in the gall⁴ bladder. Bile further serves as a waste disposal system for toxins⁵ removed from the blood by the liver.

　　The liver also plays a major role in the regulation of blood glucose⁶ (blood sugar). The liver synthesizes, dissolves, and stores amino acids, protein, and fat.It stores several important vitamins like B12 and Vitamin A. The liver also disposes of cellular⁷ waste and breaks down harmful substances, like alcohol.

　　肝进行消化的化学性物质是胆汁。就餐时，肝细胞分泌的胆汁通过肝管系统进入小肠，消化脂肪微粒。

　　在两餐之间，胆汁被储存在胆囊。胆汁还用于肝从血液排除毒素废物。

　　肝脏在调节血液葡萄糖（血糖）的作用中也起着非常重要的作用。肝脏合成、分解和储存氨基酸、蛋白质和脂肪。它储存一些重要的维生素，如B12和维生素A。肝也代谢细胞废物和分解有害物质，如酒精。
