- Liver:

It is the largest gland in the body, and in an adult man it weighs about one fortieth of his weight. If we said that it weighs between 3 and 4 pounds, we would not go far.

Location of the liver in the body:

Its location in the body is in the abdomen, to the right of the leg, directly under the diaphragm, and it is close to it, and at the lower level of it comes the fold of the ascending colon when it becomes the transverse rectum, and behind it the right kidney disappears. And to the left of the man, opposite the liver, there is. The left end of the liver (its smaller lobe, as the stomach consists of two lobes) extends and covers the stomach.

The liver consists of specially large cells. Its color is dark brown red.

The liver contains about a quarter of a person's blood while the person is at rest. If it moves and works, blood flows from it to the rest of the body.

Blood has two ways to the liver:

Blood reaches the liver through two main routes: the hepatic artery, and brings to the liver what nourishes it.

(A picture showing the position of the liver in relation to the viscera

1 - The mouth 2 - The tongue 3 - The salivary glands 4 - The pharynx 6 - The esophagus 7 - The stomach 8 - The liver 9 - The duodenum, and to the left the bile sac 10 - The pancreas 11 - The large intestine 12 - The appendix 13 - The rectum 14 - The colon.

He salutes her like all other members. Then the portal vein carries to it the blood coming from the stomach and intestines along with the nutrients it has absorbed, so that the liver can make what it does before it reaches the general cycle, so the body has complete nutrition.

- The liver is a luxurious chemical laboratory:

Here we must say that the liver is the body’s largest laboratory, in which chemical changes take place, despite their complexity, with a simplicity and ease that shames other scientific chemical laboratories created by man. The liver repairs the food that reaches it, and from it it makes the building blocks that the body needs for some of its construction. It destroys some of the atoms of molecules of materials that come to it. If they had remained as they are, they would have done work in the body.
Poison, thus extinguishing the flame of life.

There are many processes carried out by the liver, including the following:

(1) Sugar, sugars, and starch in the body are transformed in digestion into glucose, which is used as fuel to keep the body’s flame burning. But a person eats more than he needs in an hour, and so the liver stores the excess, not in the form of glucose (dextrose), but in the form of sugar made by combining glucose molecules together and is known as glycogen. This is stored by the liver until the body needs it and returns it to it.

(2) The “portal vein” comes from the precise meaning, for example, of meat and other ready-digested proteins, meaning that they are then in the form of organic amino acids. The liver goes back and makes new proteins from these, similar to what they were, which are foods. These new proteins the body needs to build itself from. They are the proteins that make up the plasma of cells in the body. It also produces albumin (albumin) and globulin.

(3) These amino acids that we mentioned in (2) are some of the ones that the body needs as fuel for life. Therefore, the liver must rid it of the amino part that contains (a nitrogen atom with two atoms of an adrogen, i.e., zydum) by converting it to urea (Zyd2. K.A. Zed2), not to ammonia (Zyd2): ammonia is poison, and urea is tolerated by the body to the extent that The kidneys get rid of it.

(4) The liver makes gallbladder. Bitterness does not have a digestive enzyme, but rather it contains something that helps digest food, which is the exact meaning.

The gallbladder retains about a tenth of its bile vesicle. We have previously dealt with the issue of the bile vesicle sufficiently, so we will not return to mentioning it here.

But we may go further and say that this bile vesicle is not found in all vertebrate animals. It is not found in horses, mice, deer, or anything else. Even in humans, the vesicle may be filled with stones (they are often from cholesterol), and the person is forced to
Remove it and then live a comfortable life.

(5) The liver chemically prepares dietary fats for digestion
It is burned when it goes to the cells and is used as fuel for the body. By converting them into unsaturated compounds.

(6) The liver makes the compound heparin, which is
The compound that naturally circulates in the blood, preventing it from coagulating and coagulating, and blocking its outlets.

(7) The liver produces substances that fight moldy diseases
To protect the body from it.

The liver makes and produces...
Enumeration is easy.
But the funniest thing is that the chemist must understand all of this: he knows what is going on. And he understands what's going on. He is unable to do much of what is happening. What succeeded in doing this was preceded by the liver in that it does what it does without lamps, flasks, pumps, fuses, distillers, or filters. And you do it in silence and with the liver with all understanding and all skill.

Then ? With who ?

- The liver renews itself:

The strange thing about the liver is that it renews itself.
They cut out about 90 percent of a dog's liver, and the remaining ten began to produce bile at the current rate. They cut off three-quarters of it, and the remaining quarter kept dividing and multiplying its cells rapidly until the liver returned to approximately its original size after six or eight weeks!

- The liver among poets:

And I read the beloved Arab poet complaining, and he says:
I have an ulcerated liver. Who will sell me?
It has a liver that does not have ulcers
Abha, people don't buy it
And whoever buys the defect is correct

I read others and find that the ancients believed that the liver produces the assets that make a person his health and his temperament. They had four humors, and they called them four humours: blood, phlegm, bile, and black bile. For them, love was a failure that produced a bilious mood in them.

The truth is that neither love, nor joy, nor sadness, nor any of that has anything to do with the liver, unless the body gets sick and the liver gets sick because it is part of it.
