  1. Liver Cell By: Gabriela Cabada, Jimena Camino , and Ana Paula Prado

  2. What is the Liver? The liver is the largest gland in the body, and is situated below the diaphragm and on top of the stomach. It consists of two lobes which are wedge-shaped. The one that is in the right is bigger than the one that is on the left.

  3. What is the Liver used for? The liver is the largest solid organ in the body, the liver makes and secrets the bile, actually the liver cells are the ones that make the bile. What is the bile for? The bile is a bitter, brownish-yellow or greenish-yellow fluid, that aids the digestion and absorption of fats.

  4. What is a Liver Cell? Each liver lobe is divided into many small lobules, each being about the size of a pin-head, and consisting of many liver cells, with bile channels and blood channels between them.

  5. What is a Liver cell used for? 1. Regulation of blood sugar 2. Regulation of lipids 3. Regulation of amino acids 4. Production of heat 5. Forms bile 6. Forms cholesterol 7. Removals of hormones, toxins, etc 8. Formation of red blood cells 9. Making heparin 10. Removal of hemoglobin molecules 11. Storage of blood 12. Forms plasma proteins 13. Storage of vitamins such as vitamin A and D

  6. Parts of a Liver Cell Nucleus: the main part of the cell, it controls everything. Nucleolus: it contains the DNA of the cell. Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum: supplies a shape to the cell by providing an internal structural skeleton. Mitochondria: products the energy the cell needs. Ribosome: creates proteins from all amino acids and RNA. Cytoplasm: helps the organelles inside the cell not to move around. Cell Wall: protects the cell. Golgi Apparatus: package macromolecules, to transport elsewhere in the cell. Lysosome: cells garbage disposal system Centriole: help in cell division. Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum: transports newly made proteins, all over the cell.
