KNOW
YOUR LIVER
|
DO
YOU KNOW ME ?
|
 |
I am the biggest and the most complicated organ in
your body. You couldn't have gotten out of bed in this morning if I
weren't on the job.
I am behind the lower part of your ribs on the right
side.

LIVER FUNCTIONS ! |
|
I am just like a
factory, having the ability to manufacture, store and detoxify various
substances in your body. |
 |
I manufacture:
- @ new proteins for your body needs
- @ clotting factors to stop the bleeding
- @ bile to help digest your food
Without me:
- @ you wouldn't grow properly
- @ you would bleed to death
- @ you would waste away to nothing
|
|
|
|
I store up:
- @ iron
- @ vitamins
- @ minerals
- @ sugar
Without me:
- @ you wouldn't have the strength to
@ carry on
- @ you would go into a coma
|
 |
 |
@ I detoxify all the chemicals you give me,
including alcohol and drugs.
@ I remove poisons from the air, exhaust, smoke
& chemicals you breathe in.
@ I help defend you against the "germ warfare"
going in your body all the time.
