| | The liver also makes factors that help the human immune system fight infection, removes bacteria from the blood, and makes bile, which is essential for digestion. | | | It performs numerous functions for the body: converting nutrients derived from food into essential blood components, storing vitamins and minerals, regulating blood clotting, producing proteins and enzymes, maintaining hormone balances, and metabolizing and detoxifying substances that would otherwise be harmful to the body. | | | After eating, the gallbladder, a fist-sized organ that sits next to the liver and stores bile, releases bile into the small intestine where it helps to digest fats. |
