We often forget that all our organs and tissues interact constantly, and when one organ fails, many other organs and tissues are adversely affected. #2 The liver is the largest organ in the body and is located beneath the rib cage to protect it from injury. It is partially anchored to the diaphragm on the right side. The liver is unusual in that it has a special blood supply that carries blood from the intestines directly to the liver. #3 The liver is the largest organ in the body, and it is responsible for manufacturing and storing all the proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and vitamins your body needs for good health. It also protects you from harmful substances entering your body. #4 The liver is responsible for processing the blood that flows to it from the small intestine, breaking down the foods you eat into carbohydrates, fats, and proteins that the body will then use.
