what does the liver regulate in the bloodstream?
levels of adrenaline and cortisol
levels of red and white blood cells
levels of sodium and potassium
levels of glucose, amino acids, and fats
levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide
The liver plays a crucial role in metabolism. It stores glucose as glycogen and releases it when needed. It also processes amino acids (removing the amino group through deamination) and metabolizes fats (synthesis of lipoproteins, etc.). Adrenaline and cortisol levels are mainly regulated by the adrenal glands. Red and white blood cell levels are regulated by bone marrow (for production) and spleen (for storage/removal). Sodium and potassium levels are mainly regulated by the kidneys. Oxygen and carbon dioxide levels are regulated by the lungs (gas exchange) and blood buffers.
