amesteca cu sangele arterial) apoi in Vena Centrolobulara. Acestea din urma vor forma V. Hepatice

The liver has the capacity to convert important hormones
and vitamins into a more active form. Examples include the
initial hydroxylation of vitamin D and the deiodination of
the thyroid hormone thyroxine (T4) to triiodothyronine
(T3). Moreover, numerous enzymes in the liver process lipophilic
chemicals into more polar, water-soluble metabolites,
which are more readily excreted into bile.
Bile is a complex secretory product produced by the liver.
Biliary secretion has two principal functions: (1) elimination
of many endogenous and exogenous waste products from
the body, such as bilirubin and cholesterol; and (2) promotion
of digestion and absorption of lipids from the intestine.
The composition of bile is modifi ed signifi cantly as a resultof the absorptive and secretory properties of
epithelial cells
that line the intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile ducts. Moreover,
bile solutes are further concentrated as bile is stored in
the gallbladder.
