Ans. The liver plays a vital role in digestion and absorption. It produces bile, which is stored in the gallbladder and released into the small intestine. Bile helps in the digestion and absorption of fats. It emulsifies large fat globules into smaller droplets, increasing their surface area and making it easier for enzymes to break them down. Bile also aids in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Additionally, the liver detoxifies harmful substances and metabolizes nutrients before they enter the general circulation.
