The liver is the largest organ inside the body, and is a very important metabolic organ. It is found on the upper right of the abdomen, comprising the left lobe and the right lobe. The main functions of the liver include:
- The production and storage of glucose for use when necessary

When the liver cells begin to mutate and uncontrolled divide, a liver cancer is formed.
