Human Liver
Your body's chemical plant, running 24/7/The Human Body
The human liver is the largest internal organ, weighing about 1.5 kg and processing roughly 1.5 liters of blood per minute. It performs over 500 distinct functions, including detoxification, protein synthesis, and bile production. It's also the only internal organ that can regenerate: remove 75% of it and it will grow back to full size within weeks.
