Taxonomic definition
Encyclopedic definition a large gland of a dark-red color situated in the upper part of the abdomen on the right side. Called also hepar [TA]. Its domed upper surface fits closely against and is adherent to the inferior surface of the right diaphragmatic dome, and it has a double blood supply from the hepatic artery and the portal vein. It comprises thousands of minute lobules (lobuli hepatitis), the functional units of the liver (see also liver acinus, under acinus, and portal lobule, under lobule). Its manifold functions include the storage and filtration of blood, the secretion of bile, the excretion of bilirubin and other substances formed elsewhere in the body, and numerous metabolic functions, including the conversion of sugars into glycogen, which it stores.
Taxonomic definition The liver is a lobular organ [organum lobulare ] which is located in the upper right part of the abdominal cavity
