Illustration of structure of human hepatocyte
Artwork illustrating the compact internal structure of a human hepatocyte, a liver cell.

These include the detoxification of waste products, the reclamation of old red blood cells, the sythesis and secretion of bile, blood plasma proteins and the storage of glycogen.
