A
liver
B
gall bladder
C
pancreas
D
large intestines
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: -Blood coming from the digestive organs flows through the portal vein to the liver, carrying nutrients, medication and also toxic substances. Once they reach the liver, these substances are processed, stored, altered, detoxified, and passed back into the blood or released in the bowel to be eliminated.

Detailed explanation-3: -The liver filters toxins through the sinusoid channels, which are lined with immune cells called Kupffer cells. These engulf the toxin, digest it and excrete it. This process is called phagocytosis. As most chemicals are relatively new it will be thousands of years before our body properly adapts to them.

Detailed explanation-4: -Your liver gets blood from two distinct sources: the hepatic artery and the portal vein. Oxygen-rich blood flows in through the hepatic artery, while nutrients from the intestines come through the portal vein.
