Liver, artwork
Liver, artwork. The liver is the largest gland in the human body and the largest internal organ. It plays a vital role in metabolism, storing nutrients in forms such as glycogen, and helping to clean the blood of toxins and other waste products. It also produces bile, a liquid that is used to digest fats. An adult human liver can weigh over 1.5 kilograms. The liver is found on the right-hand side of the body, in the upper abdomen, directly below the diaphragm (not seen)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of the liver, the largest gland and internal organ in the human body. The artwork highlights its vital role in our metabolism, acting as a storage unit for essential nutrients like glycogen while simultaneously cleansing our blood from toxins and waste products. With its ability to produce bile, a crucial liquid for digesting fats, this remarkable organ plays a significant part in maintaining our overall health. The illustration portrays an adult human liver that can weigh over 1.5 kilograms, elegantly capturing its lobed structure and positioning on the right-hand side of the upper abdomen beneath the diaphragm (although not visible). This artistic representation emphasizes both its anatomical complexity and importance within our digestive system. Through filtering and detoxification processes, this single organ ensures that our bodies remain clean and healthy by removing harmful substances from circulation. Its metabolic functions are indispensable for sustaining life itself. Science Photo Library's stunning art print serves as a reminder of how intricately designed our bodies are at every level. It invites us to marvel at nature's genius while providing valuable insights into hepatology—the study of liver diseases—and promoting awareness about maintaining optimal liver health through proper nutrition and lifestyle choices.
