Human Liver Trivia Quiz – The Body's Chemical Factory

The liver is the largest internal organ, sitting in the upper right abdomen under the diaphragm. It performs hundreds of tasks, from making bile to storing energy and producing proteins for blood clotting.

The liver processes nutrients absorbed from the intestines, stores glucose as glycogen, breaks down alcohol and drugs and removes old red blood cells. It also stores vitamins and iron.

Unusually, the liver can regenerate, regrowing lost tissue. This makes living-donor transplants possible. Avoiding excess alcohol, eating well and preventing hepatitis help protect it.
