The liver is the largest cone-type organ, dark brownish red in color, and situated in the upper abdomen on the right side. It weighs approx..900-1200 gms. Liver is divided into two lobes  (Right and Left) and both lobes together consists of eight segments (Four in each lobe) . The golden bile synthesized by liver is transported via a hepatic duct into the Gall bladder, where it gets concentrated and then discharged into the duodenum (first part of the intestine)  via the common bile duct. It helps in the digestion of food. The liver carries out many important functions in the body like digestion, regulating blood clotting, synthesis of proteins and detoxifying blood, etc.
