-
Liver has valuable functions in the body, including antioxidation and cell protection • 9:13
-
Liver’s architecture consists of hepatic lobules filtering blood from portal vein and hepatic artery • 10:03
-
Blood is filtered through hepatic lobules before draining into the central vein • 10:27
-

Overview of liver function, including detoxification, immune protection, and blood filtration
-
Liver has sinusoids where blood flows, allowing for plasma leakage onto hepatocytes for detoxification • 12:15
-
Liver contains immune cells like Kupffer cells and dendritic cells for strong immune protection • 12:29
-
Stellate cells store vitamin A but can drive liver cirrhosis if overly activated by producing collagen • 12:44
-
Liver plays a vital role in managing and protecting the body from harm, essential for overall health • 13:07
-
Liver filters about 1.4 L of blood per minute, crucial for protecting against toxins and bacteria from the intestine • 13:17
-
Liver function is crucial for survival, as it serves as a filter against harmful substances in the body • 13:35
-
Liver function is essential for overall well-being and without it, the body would struggle to eliminate toxins effectively • 13:45
