Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The liver regulates most chemical levels in the blood and excretes a product called bile. This helps carry away waste products from the liver. All of the blood leaving the stomach and intestines passes through the liver. The liver processes this blood.

Detailed explanation-2: -The liver filters all of the blood in the body and breaks down poisonous substances, such as alcohol and drugs. The liver also produces bile, a fluid that helps digest fats and carry away waste. The liver consists of four lobes, which are each made up of eight sections and thousands of lobules (or small lobes).

Detailed explanation-3: -The cells of the liver produce about 800 to 1, 000 milliliters (about 27 to 34 fluid ounces) of bile every day. Bile is a yellow, brownish or olive-green liquid that helps our body digest fats. The liver cells secrete the bile into small canals that lead to the common bile duct.
