The liver is a primary center of metabolism, supporting multiple body systems and activities. It assists the digestive and excretory systems by metabolizing fats, carbohydrates, and proteins to form bile and urea and in the process synthesizes many substances that are sent to other areas of the body to perform a vast number of body functions. The liver uptakes and stores glycogen, vitamins, and iron. It also forms most of the substances utilized in blood coagulation and excretes drugs, hormones, and other substances into bile and ultimately the feces.
