Excretion: Liver.
  1. Functions of the Liver
    1. Synthesis
      1. Triglycerides Plama Proteins Chlosererol
      2. Breakdown
        1. Worn out RBC
        2. Detoxification
          1. Many Compounds: Alcohol/Drugs/Hydrogn Peroxide
          2. Carbohydrate Metabolism
            1. Regulates Blood-Glucose levels
            2. Lipid Metabolism
              1. - Lipids used in respiration - Sysnthesis/regulation cholesterol
              2. Protein Metabolism
                1. Regulates AA levels via transamination/deamination of excess AAx
                2. Storage
                  1. Vitamin A/D, Iron
                3. Adaptations of the Liver
                  1. Many Mitochondria
                    1. Production of ATP (aerobic respiration) Ornithine Cycle/Protein Synthesis
                    2. RER
                      1. Synthesises plasma proteins
                      2. Lipid Droplets
                        1. Storage lipids --> ENEGY! (Respiration)
                        2. Glycogen Granules
                          1. Stores glucose / Can release glucose into blood incleasing Blood-Glucose conc.
                          2. Microvilli
                            1. Increase S.A between hepatocytes + blood (E.g: hepatic portal vein)
                          3. Detoxification of Ethanol
                            1. Ethanol Oxidised to Ethanal
                              1. Ethanal Oxidised to Ethanoate
                                1. Ethanoate Enters Krebs Cycle
                                  1. Co-Enzyme: Acetyl CoA
                                    1. Ethanoate binds with Acetyl CoA
                                    2. Enzyme: Ethanal Dehydrogenase
                                      1. Co-Enzyme: NAD (Forming Reduced NAD)
                                      2. Enzyme: Ethanol Dehydrogenase
                                        1. Co-Enzyme: NAD (Forming Reduced NAD)
                                        2. N.B: NAD --> Reduced NAD = Accepting 2 H atoms.
                                        3. Formation of Urea
                                          1. The Amino Acid is deaminated (amine group is removed)
                                            1. Keto Acid enters aerobic prespiration producing ATP OR converted to carbohydrate/lipid
                                              1. Ammonia combined with Carbon Dioxide forming Urea (Ornithine Cycle.)
                                                1. Urea transported to kidneys and excreted in urine.
                                                  1. LESS TOXIC AND LESS SOLUBLE
                                                  2. TOXIC AND SOLUBLE!
