Description

Students often struggle to understand the many functions of the liver and how they are affected by disease. This is because the liver does more than filter substances arriving from the gastrointestinal tract via the portal circulation. This interactive book was developed to address these difficulties by helping students to more fully understand how the liver functions, and which substances typically are measured in the circulation to assess the organ’s functional capacity.
