IF you ARE sLIvERIsH"

The liver is the heaviest gland in
the body, being about one-fortieth Of
the entire body weight. It Is much
larger In proportion In children and
tends to make their abdomen slightly
pendulous.
The liver rests on various abdom-
inal organs, such as the kidneys, large
colon and stomach. In addition, its
weight Is supported by five strong lig-
aments. The liver Is located in the
upper portion Of the abdomen just be-
low the diaphragm. Only one-fifth is
on the left side, the remaining four
fifths being on the right. The gall
bladder is attached to the lower sur
face Of the right lobe, and when dis
tended can usually be felt as round
swelling near the end of the ninth
rib.
The liver has q double blood sup
ply In which respect 1t differs from
the other organs Of the body. The
first blood supply comes over the
portal vein and carries food materials
directly from the stomach and intes-
tines into the liver. where the vein di-
vides In fine capillaries. The liver
can in this way destroy or neutralize
many harmful substances coming
from the digestive tract before they
have an opportunity to enter the gen.
eral circulation. In addition, some
food materials are removed from the
blood and stored in the liver for flu
ture use. The liver receives its own
nourishment from the blood coming
through the hepatic artery. Blood
from both the artery and portal vein
after circulating through the capil-
laires Of the liver is emptied into the
hepatic veins and then directly back
into the main circulation.
There are three known functions of
the liver but there may be others yet
undiscovered. The first is the manu-
featuring of bile which goes directly
into the small intestines or Is stored
In the gall bladder; the second is the
formation Of urea and uric acid from
the waste products of the body SO
that they can be discharged by the
Kidneys: the third function Is to pre-
vent too much dextrose (digested sug-
ar and starch) from entering the
blood Immediately after eating. #
this did not occur the muscles would
be gorged with food Immediately af-
ter mealtime, and starved in between.
The liver stores this dextrose as glyco-
gen (animal starch) until the tissues
need It.
An interesting example Of the in
terworking Of the different organs is
noticed here, for the pancreas throws
q secretion into the blood which
checks the liver from giving off more
glycogen than the body requires. In
q disease Of the pancreas. this secre-
ton Is not present in the blood, and
the liver may allow too much dex-
