Liver stores and converts sugars and carbohydrates, receives amino acids and sugars from intestine via portal vein, makes urea, synthesizes plasma proteins, stores vitamins, detoxifies alcohol and ketones, and regulates and produces lipids and fatty acids.
Bladders {gall bladder}| under liver hold liver bile salts and release bile salts into duodenum, to break up fats and neutralize stomach acid. Secretin hormone can control bile stimulation. Precipitated-cholesterol gallstones can be in bile ducts.
