Random Fact: About 440 gallons of blood flow through the kidneys each and every day!
This is your liver
This is what it's made out of (millions of nephrons)
Liver VS Kidney
Both the liver
and kidney remove toxins in our body. The difference between the kidney and
the liver is that they have different functions such as kidney is responsible
to balance our homeostasis, also it balance our acid and base in our
body, controls our blood pressure and also plasma volume of our blood,
secretes hormone like dopamine that is responsible for increasing heart
rate and blood pressure.
While liver produces and excretes bile (a greenish liquid) required for emulsifying fats. Some of the bile drains directly into the duodenum, and some is stored in the gallbladder.
The liver performs several roles in carbohydrate metabolism:
* Carcinogenesis (the synthesis of glucose from certain amino acids, lactate or glycerol)
* The breakdown of insulin and other hormones
The liver is responsible for the mainstay of protein metabolism. For instance, the liver can convert lactic acid to alanine.
