The main functions of liver can be broadly classified in the following groups: SYNTHESIS, STORAGE, SECRETION, DETOXIFICATION

Synthesis: Proteins needed for body functions

Storage: Glycogen (glucose is converted to glycogen)

Detoxification: Drugs and toxins

Production of Bile: need for digestion of fats

Regulating blood clotting: synthesis of essential proteins
