The liver's main function is to filter the blood from the digestive tract that passes through it before it goes to the rest of the body.
Explanation:
The liver has other functions, including:
- Detoxifying chemicals in the blood that passes through it
- Metabolizing lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates in the blood
- Producing proteins that are crucial for blood clotting
- Storing important vitamins and nutrients, like iron and copper
- Aiding the immune system by capturing and removing bacteria and parasites from the blood
